- I just added a rack set-up to my shop. I was planning on using 2x4's but
- while at my local Home Deopt I found some heavy duty shelf standards
- and supports. The supports came in lengths up to 2 feet or so. I used
- the 14" ones. I don't remember the manufacturer, I've seen it advertised
- in wood rags. The shape is unique: standards have 2 columns of slots
- and the supports look like conventional ones but are made of U shaped metal.
- Claim to be good for over 130 pounds when evenly distributed. The main
- advantages are they are movable and open on all sides; something you won't
- get with a 2x4 frame. I made simple shelves withe standards every 2 feet
- and 3/4" plywood shelf (overkill).
- I can look up the name if you can't find it.
