Builders Merchants Racking
Builders’ merchants’ racking is essential for storing a variety of building materials – from heavy construction products to small fittings and tools.
Stakapal’s UK-manufactured storage systems are built to handle this diversity. Our safe, durable, customisable solutions are designed to enhance operational efficiency and maximise space, helping merchants streamline inventory and improve workflow.

Whether you are storing bulk stock, long products, or smaller components, Stakapal provides a tailored solution to suit your specific requirements:
Storage for Builders Merchants
Generally, yard areas contain a mixture of Brick Racking, Landscaping Racks, Fencing Racking, Bagged Aggregate Racks and Concrete Product Racks, which typically comprise Pallet Racking.
For external storage, Timber Rack and Concrete Lintel Rack usually consist of heavy-duty Cantilever Racking, which will not only improve overall stock rotation but also enhance on-site safety with a disciplined yard layout.
For differing lengths of Timber where a hand-loaded picking area is required, Stakapal’s Pigeon Hole Rack offers the perfect solution as it provides the facility to store a relatively wide range of differing stock profiles in a designated area, away from forklift trucks and other machinery, as well as lorries loading and unloading.
Stakapal is a proud member of the award-winning Builders Merchants Federation trade association.
Racking Solutions For Builders Yard
Stockholding requirements in a builder yard generally dictate the need for a specific selection of racking systems that present the available stock in a clear, visible and accessible format for both staff and customers alike.
Stakapal’s SR2000 Series Adjustable Pallet Racking is ideal for the storage of a variety of Bagged Cements and Plasters, Plasterboard and Insulation Products. Softwood Timber and Hardwood Timber can be stored horizontally on either Stakapal’s Cantilever Racks or in a Pigeon Hole Rack format.
Cantilever Racking is commonly utilised in a warehouse situation when storing Panels and Sheet Materials to keep stock damage to a minimum whilst providing uninterrupted access to individual packs of product and maximising storage.
An alternative storage option is to present Timber in a vertical format with Stakapal’s Vertical Storage.

It means a lot to us!Posted on noam attar12 October 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service, quality and communication from the very start to finish. They will support you and guide you, query and give you pushback if something does not make sense, but ultimately help and respect your decisions too to make it the best success it can be. They are also very flexible with timelines to work around other projects in the building site, whilst going the extra mile and fair. A big shoutout especially to James and the wider team.

We look forward to serving you again!Posted on Damian29 August 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had our racking installed by Stakapal and couldn’t be more pleased with the service. From start to finish, the team was quick, efficient, and highly professional. Everything was carried out exactly as planned, and they even made some on-the-spot adjustments to tailor the installation to our needs on the day. The whole process was smooth, well-organised, and completed to a very high standard. We’re extremely happy with the results and would highly recommend Stakapal to anyone looking for reliable and expert racking solutions.
