I'm looking at putting up some shelving ( ... so far so good/easy ...). But, this particular shelving is going to need to support a fair amount of weight - I reckon about 150kg.
The shelf will be going to into a good, solid, brick wall (in a old victorian house), and I was planning on using heavy duty shelving brackets, fixed with shield-anchors.
But, I'm not toally convinced that trying to support 150kg on a wall shelf, is such a great idea - and hoped for a bit of advice as to whether this will work, or whether I'm nuts for trying!
If it helps, the shelf will be supporting a fish tank (about 80cm wide x 35cm deep).
Look forward to your thoughts!
