Basment Shelving
I finally got some of the shelving up in the basement. They have a bracket that just hangs from the top of the wall. I had to cut a 2×4 down to 3″, so that the bracket had something to sit on. Each one is rated at 1000lbs. Because of the pipes on the other walls, I’m going to have to screw into the concrete to secure the brackets. Here is a photo of the shelves all loaded up to load test them. They can don’t work as good as I had expected hanging from the top of the walls. They have a tendency to turn, and if you put a lot of weight on the bottom, the bracket likes to bend outward. I’ll probably put some screws in to keep them stable.
I also have a picture here of the main wall going down the center of the basement. It should give you a good idea of the length.
I didn’t get the electrical boxes in like I had hoped, but I did get over to Home Depot and purchased them. Melissa and I are going to the zoo tomorrow, so I’ll be putting them in after that.
