Abstract
A modular shelving system is formed with dimensions to be integrated in the structure of a pre-formed utility shed without compromising the integrity of the shed structure. The interior of the walls of the shed have a pattern of apertures formed during manufacture. The shelf units each have brackets snap fitted on each end. The brackets carry hooks spaced to cooperate with the apertures. The brackets also have bores into which support posts are fitted. The support posts are stopped in the bores and extend vertically from shelf to shelf to support the weight of the shelves. The floor of the shed also has a connector to fix the distance of the lower posts from the wall.
