Title: Shelving units
Post by: johnrm on January 10, 2015, 04:59:42 PM
Coop stores have a deal on freestanding shelving units...
Were 129, now 49. Bastids, I bought 2 sets in Nov.

Sorry about the sideways pics!

They take a while to put together but they're sturdy, the big set takes 70KG, so 350KG total. MDF shelves.

1 set could do 2 benches about 1.1m high.
I'll measure WxD tomorrow.

Golden vale coop superstores.
They're dotted around the country.
Possibly one around the corner.

Only in the home province John. What is the minimum distance between the shelves. Was thinking of getting somebody to pick a few up for me but chipboard shelving is putting me off because it's terrible with water & it's not great long term for taking knocks etc. Might lay a few rough cuts of plywood.

This is for the bigger one, I don't have the low down on the smaller one...
WxDxH -1200 x 450 x 2200
Shelves are MDF, Lidl/Aldi ones are chip board shelves, neither takes water well.
The 2200 high shelves can be set up as 2 x1100 I believe.

Going to try & get a pair of these from down the country. Should be able to paint the MDF to stop it absorbing moisture. No excuse now for my garage being like a tip :)

Got the last two of these from a co-op store in Clare. Just put the first of together & now have 80% of my cornies & 75% of bottles &  cases squared away. But of a bitch to.put together given the amount of fiddling with them but for €50 a pop I can't complain too loudly. Thanks for the tip John who knows when I get the 2nd one up I might be able to get my car back in my shed :)

The first one took me ages, but I figured a few trick so the second took a lot less.
I bought 2 reduced price ones, which should go up a lot quicker.
A hammer, block of wood and screwdriver are essential for this.

Yes I know what you mean about the tips. I used a mallet & tape measure as my eye sight kept letting me down with the height of the spars. Was giving some thought to cladding them in plywood to allow me store stuff securely & also keep everything dry.
