I need to put up a lot of garage racking to hold goods which are at
present in something of a heap in the garage. Looking around at what's
available at B&Q it would cost something like 360 pounds if I used large
240 x 122cm chipboard (each cut into 3 shelves (or perhaps MDF)) x 6
sheets plus 3 brackets per shelf (ie 54 brackets) and 3 uprights per
shelf (18 uprights in all) that's easily 360 pounds excluding and paint
and screws (I realise that I'd need to seal the shelves)

Plan is to have 2 x 3 on left wall, 2 x 3 on back wall and 2 x 3 on
right wall.

Given that it doesn't have to be pretty, can anyone suggest a cheaper,
more effective solution?

Try IKEA. Doesn't seem to be in their on-line store, but STEN,
which I have used lots, seems to have been re-named GORM in the
2004 catalogue, just out (don't ask me why).

Basic unit is
4 shelves 770 mm x 310 mm with supports 1740 mm high for GBP15
extra shelves GBP3
or 770 mm x 510 mm for GBP25
extra shelves GBP5.
Extra supports GBP3 per pair.
