Editorial Policy

Compact Workshop publishes practical guides for small workshops, garages and tool storage. This page explains how we create them and what you can expect from us.

Accuracy first

  • Specific claims – dimensions, load ratings, safety rules, product specifications – are checked against sources such as manufacturer documentation, safety agencies, standards bodies and established trade publications.
  • Each article ends with a list of the sources we relied on.
  • We give measurements in both imperial and metric units and mark approximations clearly.
  • We never invent test results, measurements, prices, quotes, reviews or personal experiences.

How articles are produced

Our articles are researched and drafted with the help of AI tools and then checked against the cited sources and our editorial checklist before publication. Illustrations on this site are created digitally to explain ideas; they are not photographs of real projects or product tests unless the caption says otherwise.

Product mentions

We describe types of products and the features that matter for small spaces. We do not rank products as “best” without a fair basis for comparison. Some pages may contain affiliate links; see our affiliate disclosure. Commissions never decide what we recommend.

Safety

Workshop storage involves weight, sharp edges, wall fixings and sometimes electricity or flammable materials. We include safety notes where they apply, but always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your tools, fixings and materials, and consult a qualified professional when in doubt.

Corrections and updates

We review articles regularly and update them when information changes. If you find an error, please tell us through the contact page – we will check it and correct the article if needed.
