I welded two small bits of box to the rsj and I budged a plate into the wall and got some concrete screws for that into the house wall, thanks to stock for the suggestion. With the eyes on the gates turned out to be the exact fit for the span and I have some stokboard which I will tex screw onto it tomorrow. Please ignore the welding.

With heading off buying stuff, using a few hundred screws, making it, it would all take time, and making adjustments down the line would be very time consuming. I then went to rackzone with the intention of buying similar to the screw fix image. Came home with much better shelving. Each unit is 9ft long, 3ft deep and 8ft high. Very good quality, even got the sheeting for each level there. So no cutting sheets and a lot of waste. A few people have seen it and were impressed with it.

Nekarsulm wrote: » Yes, have to open them all each time you move it.# A bit of a handle on each nut would be handy, right enough, you could always guve the handle a knock of the hammer if you thought they weren't tight enough.

Nekarsulm wrote: » Nope, no good. The vertical wires will pull along the horizontal ones, and it'll be a mess. I have a washer under each nut, to make it a bit easier tightening them, and the biggest time waster is when you drop a washer or nut into long grass.
