Added another 2 shelving bays to the existing 40 bays.
Thought I would document and photograph the steps involved
These shelving bays enable us to lift smaller cabinets up off the floor - increasing the amount of floor space available to the larger cabinets.
Also - a lot of lighter items can be stored up at the very top level (2.4 m off the ground) - we have quite a few interesting items come in recently and these are currently cluttering up the software shed.
Hopefully these two new shelves will let us clean up.
Note the missing corners on the thick chipboard used on the first shelving level.
I bought a large quantity of this from Brian Mayne (only $2 for each piece)
They are the tops off ex workstations
Everything we do - we try to make do with cheap or free materials.
Notice also that the shelving uprights do not appear to be completely vertical when compared with the main barn support beam.
In fact the shelving is correct and the beam is crooked. I think the guys who erected the barn did it "by eye" and didn't use spirit levels.
