Before I make a cock up of it.
I want to make some shelving for my shed. I am talking basic stuff with cheap as chips materials and basic designs. One shelf unit will be roughly 95cm across and 50cm deep. The other 90 by 40. There will be roughly 4 shelfs on each unit. I have chosen 38mm by 68mm CLS timber as the frame and 12mm thick MDF as the shelving. What I plan on doing is getting the 4 pieces of CLS as the frames. Then cutting short lengths of CLS and putting them in horizontally as supports (i.e 4 on each side connecting the posts together and then screwing the shelves into these supports I have bought some metal angle brackets to use as supports. http://pickardhardware.com/images/Fl...-%20GH2050.jpg the ones i got are 60 by 60mm i think. Essentially i want something like this but wider and obviously using wooden shelves: http://s7ondemand4.scene7.com/is/ima...O2234-?wid=380 I will only have the supports going the short 50cm way down the sides as opposed to going across as well. My main issue will probably be supports. i don't expect major weight on the shelves, will the angle brackets do the job? the other technique i could use it cutting squares of the CLS and connecting them to the support post and then connecting the cross beam to them 9if that makes sense!) Any tips? |
