I will be setting up a bunch of heavy duty steel shelving units with full
size 4' x 8' shelves. The decking can be any 4' x 8' material (full
sheets). I'll be storing a max distributed load of 1200 lbs per shelf.
What's the best material to use as decking. Local Home Depot and Lowes have
available (5/8" to 3/4" thick) particle board (with or without melamite),
MDF, various varieties of plywood, etc. Dry environment, there will be two
or three supports between the beams. Particle board seems to be the
standard, but is it the best choice?
