Re: new garage shelf

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.

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.
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.

Re: new garage shelf

QUESTION

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.

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 )

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?
