Hi
I’m looking at building a set of shelving in our utility. It’s 2 metres wide and looking to do it floor to ceiling and wall to wall. We don’t have a garage so looking to maximise storage. It will have those big plastic boxes you get from Wilko that will be full of stuff. The wall behind it is just a stud wall but either side the wall is brick.
Was thinking of just using some studs either side and drilling them into the brick on the sides. Maybe use 2 scaffold boards per shelf? Wondering if that would be sturdy enough in the middle?
What would you make it out of? Wickes seem to have some cheap cls at the moment. Do I need to worry about moisture as washing machine and tumble dryer are in the room.
As you can tell I’m a bit unsure so any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
