Hi,
I have run out of space to store my cds and dvds. I've looked in the shops but not found anything suitable (do you know of anything?). So I was thinking of putting up some shelves, which I might enclose to make a cupboard. That way, it would keep the sun off them and stop them fading. It would be quite a decent size, almost like building a wardrobe. The walls are plasterboard. I was going to use those slotted bars that you slide brackets into for the shelving. Can I use plasterboard or hollow wall anchors to hold these tot he wall, or would I be best finding the studs to "future-proof" it against heavier loads? If so, can anyone recommend a decent stud detector? What would I use to fix the cupbaord to the wall? I'd quite like to have tinted galss doors but I don't know where I'd get the glass from; I guess it's a matter of getting the yellow pages and calling a few glass merchants? The other thought I had was to get two doors on a rail and have sliding doors, like on a wardrobe. How do these work? Do I need a track on the top and bottom of the doors? Thanks in advance. |
