My small 2 bed flat is severely lacking in storage space. The guest/office room is currently used as a store / laundry drying room and I'm wanting to get that sorted.
My flat is an old tenement building so it has high ceilings (approx 3.3m) and I'm considering getting a high level shelf put in above the door to the guest/office room that spans wall to wall, approx 3m long. The shelf would run parallel with the stud wall that has the door, the other walls are brick/stone, and I would like to avoid any vertical supports dropping into the room.
Weight of items would just be random stuff like small power tools or empty suitcases, etc and occasionally me (65kg) as I look for stuff up there. Would 4x2 spanning 3 meters be strong enough or would sag likely be an issue for that span?
