Only arrivesd this evening but easy to put together. bolted it to workbench so it is rock solid. Far better than that old cupboad that used to be there and so much more storage space. Only mistake I bad was the position of the second ledge down it covered to power point so had to raise it up a couple of notches
It’s just one adventure after another with you, RS. :shock:
Looks really odd RS, you should rearrange the shelving so that the biggest space is at the bottom. Apart from the aesthetics of it you want the largest stuff stored lower down.
Or you could at least arrange the shelves so they more or less line up with those to the right. it would look so much better.
Flat surfaces we would have them covered in junk in two shakes of a little dogs tail .
maybe so but at least it provides more room to put stuff than the old cupboard that was there. I had not got around to putting all the stuff on it when I took the photo. At least now the main workbench is a lot clearer to work on.
Ideally I would have that wall removed the garage and workshop floor all on one level . Also one big garage electric door against the 2 I have now. So it would be one big room which would easily get 4 possibly 6 cars in with a room above.
That would mean really a complete rebuild to the size of a small bungalow but getting too old to bother even if we had the money to do it. Having all the roof gutters and boards replaced with plastic is nearly a 5 figure sum. next years holiday if thing allow is over that amount so have to draw the line at what i would really like to get to grips with
Looks pleasantly cheap and cheerful. Provided it does the trick, then who cares what it looks like and whether the shelves match up with the others.
Absolutely! The Ronan Point of shelving.
Had to Google that. :shock:
Am sure realspeed will ascertain weight limitations!
As you so eloquently put it:
It looks to be the same shelving I put up for Mrs mart in her craft room. A bit like Dexion but without the nuts and bolts. Not intended to look good but it’s functional, strong and stable when fixed to the wall.
STRONG & STURDY: each heavy duty shelving unit is fully tested and stable enough to hold a massive 175kg (that’s 875kg per bay in total!). Plus ‘non-slip’ rubber feet for optimum stability.
That was funny.
I agree
When making any shelving or cupboards I always do a quick sketch first and work out exactly what I intend to put on them. That way I can measure the items to make sure they fit into the space.
Darn it. Hoist by my own petard 
[SIZE=“4”]QUESTION[/SIZE]
Is boltless shelving as strong as is claimed? I have in the past always opted for Dexion, but now I have need for more steel shelving, I have been wondering if the boltless variety really is a viable option to Dexion.
Probably is as strong as the manufacturers claim, for obvious litigous reasons.
Personally, I prefer to rely on nuts and bolts rather than friction and gravity to hold things in place (obviously bolts do work on the principle of friction, but let’s get too technical on that), since these seem to add to the inherent strength of structure.
Who knew shelves could be this interesting? :shock:
I know! I am taking notes. I do need some shelving but not to fix onto the wall (plasterboard), so something stand alone would work. And lightweight (don’t want it falling through the floor into downstairs :shock: )
I’d mention “riveting”, but this would open up a whole new line of enquiry;-)
Never mind the technical details Pixie.
What colour do you want it, dear? :twisted:
