I’m upset. A metal support of my BigDug shelving has sheared and is officially a ‘dangerous object’.

Thing is, I didn’t consider that my gubbins exceeded the weight limit of 175kg.

Any recommendations for reasonably priced shelving that will last longer than a few years?

Thanks. 🙂

If you don’t buy doors then B&Q/Ikea type kitchen unit carcasses aren’t too bad and have very felxible shelf positioning/cabinet sizes etc.

You often get people advertising old kitchens cheap on ebay/free-ads too.

I’ve had them for several years now, no issues and I can’t see them failing.

Thanks, not sure whether the problem was that it should have been dismantled rather than moving it built up. Old kitchen units is a good idea but don’t want anything that needs to be affixed.

The Ikea shelving doesn’t look strong enough for my tyre collection and spares etc.

Seems to deal with mine just fine…

second hand dexian shelving

accept no imitation!

I have a couple of these https://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/csr5150b-150kg-boltless-shelving-black?da=1&TC=GS-070710516

Nice and sturdy, rated at 150kg per shelf and come in other colours too.

The Machine Mart shelving is excellent and very strong indeed.

+1 for dexian,spent many a night shift fast asleep on said shelving.

Looks very similar to stuff I picked up in b&q last year.

I’ve got a few of those Machine Mart ones too. The shelves warp a bit if they get damp but otherwise very good.

Any pics of everyone’s shelving? Interested to see mancave pics

My worktable is made of dexian and mdf. My shelving is from my dad’s work, used for storing car parts on – very strong

Not 100% sure if I’ve screwed it to the wall now I think about it

knock together stuff from COSCO is pretty good – rated at >100KG per shelf I think?
I have 3 banks of it – no trouble so far.

Got 6 of these in the garage and they are rock solid.

Highly reccommend http://www.rapidracking.com/ with 800kg per level/shelf

I use the twin slot stuff from B&Q

Simple to fix, infinitely adjustable (width/height/position etc) and cheap! Never had one fail yet!

I find that the floor works pretty good,unlimited weight limit,sturdy, limitless, until you hit the ceiling anyway…..
Can be hard to find stuff though…

unlimited weight limit

The floor will have a weight limit, you’ve just not found it yet!!

machinemark – is there likely to be any on display?

I have a dungeon and, sorry, no pics cos it looks messy. 😉 😳

Quite possibly so,but the garage wouldn’t be big enough to exceed it …… 🙄
