Comments on: Easy Garage Storage Shelf Solution Finished http://www.renovateaustralia.com/2008/05/20/easy-garage-storage-shelf-solution-finished/ A home improvement blog about renovating our Queenslander house in Townsville, Australia Thu, 02 Feb 2012 00:30:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Bill Hutchison http://www.renovateaustralia.com/2008/05/20/easy-garage-storage-shelf-solution-finished/comment-page-1/#comment-22177 Bill Hutchison Thu, 28 Aug 2008 14:12:53 +0000 http://www.renovateaustralia.com/?p=294#comment-22177 That's kind of what I figured Jake after he never responded to my comment, or to an e-mail that I sent him. If I wanted to make it a stronger shelf I could add four more brackets for strength. Right now though I don't really notice much flex or bend in the shelf, and it seems to be holding up well. The timber molding it nice because it is a lot stronger than the melamine. The melamine edge can chip quite easily when moving heavy items on and off it. The timber molding is a lot more forgiving.

That idea would only be better if it had stripping at each stud. But, you could do that too with more brackets. I like your idea with the molding along the edge. I will be adding this to mine for sure, thanks for the idea!!! My shelves are overdone with brackets at each stud but I have some heavy items. I used the cheaper "non twisty-fancy" heavy duty brackets because I'm cheap :) Looks great!!! Sounds like Mr. Shelving is trying to sell you his product.

I am just a bit confused how they would be any stronger than what I put together here. I understand they would be more versatile and flexible in being able to move around and add shelves, but how would wall stripping and brackets be any stronger?
