Cheap Strong Metal Shelving - Toms306 - 10-06-2016

Ok so I've bought 2 plastic shelving racks and they're both shit. Either 25kg is considerably less than I think or they don't take the weight they should.

Anyway it needs replaced as the plastic is collapsing towards the cupboard door and there will be a huge mess soon lol.

Max 160cm x 70cm x 45cm but as large as possible within that. Must be metal to take the weight as plastic is clearly shit.

Needs to be cheap also though!

Any ideas??

get what ive got in the stables for the car aprts. i dont think those were expensive. if thats what youre after ill ask dad where he got them from.

B&Q do a set that take 50+kg of UDL on each shelf. mine stand 6ft tall by probably 2-3 wide and 18" deep. They were about £25 IIRC
It's knock together so no tools needed
Machine mart and various others do exactly the same stuff for similar prices

i got a set from Lidl a while back.. 60kg per shelf, evenly distributed, £40 for 2 sets of 1/0.5m shelves, 5 high

look up bigdug.


RE: Cheap Strong Metal Shelving - Toms306 - 10-06-2016

They're all too tall but the right depth or the right height but not deep enough. Sad

This one is the closest so far (still not really deep enough) but like twice as much as I want to pay. Confused http://www.screwfix.com/p/rb-boss-powder-coated-boltless-freestanding-shelving-4-tier/9905g

REsult! Big Grin
defo a lean on that plastic one.


RE: Cheap Strong Metal Shelving - Toms306 - 11-06-2016

So much lean I couldn't open both doors this morning lol, had to wedge one closed to hold it in while removing stuff gingerly from the other door!


RE: Cheap Strong Metal Shelving - bigcheez2k3 - 11-06-2016

Why do you have it shoved in a cupboard? Surely get rid of the ikea special and you could have better shelves?


RE: Cheap Strong Metal Shelving - Toms306 - 12-06-2016

It's a built in wardrobe, space is a premium in a studio flat lol.


RE: Cheap Strong Metal Shelving - Eeyore - 12-06-2016

metal one looks the same as mine! my might had those crap plastic ones. it would just about support his lego models.
