Re: [MBZ] Shelving

2020-03-29 Thread Allan Streib via Mercedes
I have built a lot of rough shelves for the basement and garage. I use
2x4s for the framing and plywood for the shelves. OSB board would also
serve.

I basically build each corner as a pair of 2x4s nailed in an L
shape. These run vertically from the floor to top of shelf.

Shelves are 2x4 spanning the width across the front and back, inside the
L corners, with plywood on top to form the shelf. Depending on the
width/length of the shelf, thickness of the plywood, and weight of stuff
to be supported, this may require some cross bracing, so the shelf frame
would end up looking something like a ladder lying horizontal between
the corners.

These are quite cheap and simple to build if you have a skil saw and a
nail gun. They are sort of permanent structures though, they end up
being heavy and not easy to take apart, and not easy to change the
spacing of the shelves.

I guess I am going to have to go down and look in person.  I looked at 
the Lowes and HD websites and I do not see anything like I bought in the 
past.  I had bought 4-5 units in the past but its been a couple of 
years.  They used to have these units that were pretty decent priced and 
good sized.  I am not seeing anything in the price range I am thinking I 
paid before.  They used to have what I believe was called gorilla 
shelves (brand) or something like that but I do not see them anymore.

auctions will be cheaper for pallet rack.   if you can find the kind 
with a lip for 2x lumber, that is great for boxes and smaller stuff.  
You put in 2Xs, the top  of them is level with the top of the pallet 
rack rail.  You can still stack pallets on them.

The guys that resell used pallet rack get big bucks.   Way better to buy 
it direct for the owner, and better yet at auction.

The stuff I bought has a heavy gauge wire inserts that make up the
"shelves". setup was easy, and the wire inserts will hold boxes, or
pallets, or about anything. Previously, I had racks with 2x4's and it took
forever to set up.. Wire is the way to go for ease.

Unless you've got significant scrap lumber supplies, buying the
knockdown units is probably cheaper and better, especially if you
consider your time.  Unless you need custom fitting, of course.

I have the tools to make it, and I wouldn’t. ranted, it’s probably cheaper to 
make your own, but a lot more labor intensive.

I just buy the metal stuff. It goes up quick and is pretty indestructible. If I 
need to move it I can.

[MBZ] Shelving

2020-03-29 Thread Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes
I was looking for an item in the garage which turned into an impromptu garage 
cleaning. This is crap that was in the attic of the old house for
10 Years and has been piled up in the garage at this house for 5 years. Went 
thru about a 3rd. Got a lot of trash to get rid of. I need to get some shelving 
out there to organize the rest of it. I usually go to Lowe’s and buy those 
metal shelving units you put together. Is it significantly cheaper to buy some 
2x4s and plywood and build my own? I am really not setup to do much wood 
working stuff. I do have a buzz saw and did have a table saw but can’t find the 
safely key for it so it can’t be turned on.
