Default Wanted: Advice on Garage Racking

Look around for shops closing down or find somewhere that sells
(removed) second hand shop fittings.

The ones in my shop are very strong and sturdy I will be closing the
shop down at the end of october and will be using mine in my workshop
they are ideal for that type of use.

Depending on where you are there is a shopfitters in Acrington
(Lanc's) who always have always have second hand shelving.

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?
