What is Gondola Double-Sided Shelving?
Double sided gondola shelving is a free-standing display system typically placed in the centre of a
store. Unlike wall-mounted shelving, it allows customers to browse from both sides, helping improve
flow and product visibility.
Each unit is made up of a central panel with shelves or accessories attached to both sides, creating
a structured and efficient display area.
At Dinya Shopfittings, our gondola double-sided shelf systems are available in four backing types:
- Volcano pegboard
- Flat or plain metal panel
- Metal slatwall
This variety allows you to choose a finish that suits both your products and your overall store
design.

shelving makes a big difference to how your store looks and functions. The goal is to
balance product capacity with clear, comfortable movement through your space.

Flexible Configurations to Suit Your Space
Every retail space is different, which is why our gondola shelving double-sided systems are designed
to be modular and adaptable.
Each unit is available as either:
- A double-sided gondola starter bay: A freestanding unit with two uprights
- An add-on bay: Designed to connect to an existing unit and extend a row
This makes it easy to start with a single bay and expand your layout over time.
Standard sizing options include:
- Heights from 1200mm to 2100mm
- Bay widths of 900mm and 1200mm
- Base shelf depths of 300mm or 450mm
These options allow you to create layouts that suit both compact stores and larger retail
environments.
Why Double-Sided Gondola Shelving Works So Well
One of the key advantages of gondola double-sided shelves is how efficiently they use space.
By allowing access from both sides, they naturally:
- Increase product exposure
- Encourage customer movement through the store
- Make it easier to organise product categories
This type of shelving is especially useful in stores where floor space needs to work harder, such as
supermarkets, pharmacies, and convenience stores. It also helps create clear aisles, which improves
the overall shopping experience.
Built for Everyday Retail Use
Retail shelving needs to handle constant use, changing stock, and varying product weights.
Our double sided gondola shelving is designed with this in mind, offering:
- Strong, stable construction
- Shelving that can support a wide range of products
- Finishes that maintain a clean, professional appearance over time
Whether you're displaying lightweight items or heavier stock, these systems are built to remain
reliable.

Gondola Double-Sided Shelving FAQs
What is the difference between single-sided and double-sided gondola
shelving?
The main difference comes down to placement and access. Double-sided gondola shelving
is designed to be placed in the centre of a store, allowing customers to browse from
both sides. This makes it ideal for creating aisles and maximising product
display.Single-sided shelving, on the other hand, is typically placed against a wall
and is only accessible from one side. It’s often used around the perimeter of a
store.
How much weight can each gondola shelf hold?
Weight capacity can vary depending on the specific configuration, shelf size, and how
the weight is distributed.
In general, gondola shelving is designed to support everyday retail products
comfortably, from lightweight packaged goods to heavier items. For best results,
it’s important to:
- Distribute weight evenly across each shelf
- Avoid overloading a single section
- Use appropriate brackets and supports
If you’re planning to display heavier items, it’s always worth checking
the specifications or speaking with our team.
