Shelves are up!

Big weekend of work completed which saw the shed back wall gutted and the new shelf unit assembled. First job was clear off the old units.

I painted the back wall after pre-drilling it ready to anchor the shelves directly to the wall at the back. The fronts of the shelves will be supported by 4 vertical rails.
Next job was assemble the base. This sits on 8 stumpy legs and is also bolted to the rear wall.
Then it's just a case of adding shelves. I made a support which took the weight while I located the bolts. The fronts were supported by the two outer rails only which was a little weak, but worked ok.
All in and the other two vertical rails added and there you have it... Wall to wall shelving.
Next to do is add a plinth along the bottom, cornice along the top. All the shelf fronts need an edging strip to protect the edge of the ply tops and [of course] it needs three pairs of doors. Oh, and some quadrant down the two sides just to be neat.

I'm lovin' it!
