    Heavy duty shevling suggestion and pics

    I'm working on finishing off the rest of my pole shed and looking for suggestions on heavy duty shelving. I want some that will hold heavy stuff, powerheads, gear cases ect... I don't like pallet racking because it takes up floor space. Thanks in advance.

    Twister , I noticed some seriously heavy duty shelves last time I was in Costco. Been meaning to go back and get some but haven't gotten around to in. They weren't that expensive either and around 30 to 36 inches deep or so.

    If you have a welder it is a cinch to make your own. Some I beam or square beam from the scrapyard and some 2x8 PT lumber will make them be able to take whatever you can give them. If you have a concrete floor some HD steel wheels are a nice addition. Make them 24-36'' deep by 6-8' long and 42'' tall and have a shelf underneath or cabinets for small parts/tools. Put all the parts on one and roll them out when you want to work on that project/motor.

    I could definitely make something but so many pokers in the fire was hoping to find something nice I could just bolt together.

    Or you could do a quick DIY by getting some heavy duty metal brackets and some 2x12 or multiple 2x6's. Or little more involved, 3/4" plywood and 2x4's.

    Unless you can thru bolt a bracket to the wall I would not trust any shelving with a power head on it.

    Yeah I hear about the powerheads. I saw some in a pole shed that were made to bolt to the post then they had 4" I beam cut to taper on the end with steel cross beams. As stated would be easy enough to make but hard to find the time. Was hoping to find already made but if not will just have to find time to make. Thanks

    when your all done, i am sure there will be a store closing down that has all the rackings for sale for cheap.
    If I don't ask any questions, I'll never learn anything.
