Making some floating shelves and I want to check they will be strong enough and if there are any alterations I should make.
Shelves will be 120cm long by 30cm deep, supported on 3 sides by brick work.
Planning to use 38x64mm timber frame screwed to the brick and lap jointed to each other, there will be a support timber on the front and a few noggins. This will then be clad in 12mm mdf.
Will this be strong enough to hold 40kg per shelf?
Should I use metal sleeves and plugs instead of rawl plugs?
Should i use ply instead of mdf or even thicker mdf?
