dogmandont 9,354 Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 Made a mate shelves for his shed from scaffold planks, first two rows were double width for a bench and a shelf underneath and then two single shelves above and it turned out spot on. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 25,266 Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Just have a drive round your local trading estate most warehouses have stacks of the stuff laying around and if you don’t want to take it just ask I,m sure someone would give you a load for a drink, think cost co online also sell those units for cheaper than that and deliver, fecked if I,d pay 400 for a couple of shelves a sheet of 28 mm marine ply is only 140 and will last for ever and won’t bend or warp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
