[Shop-talk] Garage-Shop Heavy Duty shelving

[Jimmie Mayfield]

Best wall shelves I've ever owned were fixtures that came from a Sears 
store that closed.  From the linens department, believe it or not.  They 
hang on wall standards like Closetmaid shelves but the wires are 2-3x as 
thick. 24-inches deep, 45 inches wide (which, of course, made it tedious 
to anchor both standards).  Since they're wall-mounted, they can't carry 
as much weight as the big pallet-rack-type shelves but they don't occupy 
any floor space which is a big net gain in a cramped garage.  I regret 
not buying more when my local store closed.  I haven't found anything 
similar in my online searches or else I'd completely outfit my garage 
and basement with them.

So if you're not in a huge hurry, I recommend you keep an eye for any 
store closings in your area.
