I can't find anyone local selling the dexion slotted tube
anymore and was considering importing a pack or two of it.

I got one when I was building the house and have
now used it all for shelving and need to do some
more, mainly for full floor to ceiling bookshelves
covering an entire quite large wall.

Wood works better for that sort of thing.

Like hell it does. Nothing like as easy to make completely
rigid vertical frames that support the shelves,

no issue there with wood framing

MUCH easier to do with slotted steel tube.

is it?

Corse it is.

nothing like as easy to have slots every 25mm so you can adjust
the shelf spacing to minimise the waste of space vertically.

wood shelving is infinitely adjustable.

But not as easily as moving what is in the slot.

A screw versus a bolt.

There is no bolt.

The main upside of timber framed shelving is that
you can make it the exact size and if necessary
shape of wherever it's going, in all 3 dimensions.

Even sillier than you usually manage with a properly built house.

It also looks much better in a home than dexion.

Even sillier than you usually manage with Speedframe.

And finally it's much more versatile and easy to add features onto,

Only a terminal ****wit like you does anything like that.

something that's seldom done with steel because it's a pig to do.

Because only terminal ****wits like you do stupid stuff like that.

Thank you for confirming you're unable to substantiate any of your claims.

YOU made that stupid claim.

YOU get to substantiate your stupid pig ignorant claim.

THATS how it works.

And say hello to the kill file.

Thanks for running up the white flag so enthusiastically, ****wit child.
