Looks good, and at the right price.
I'm always amazed how much shelving costs........

Well done.
Back to a swag!

thanks, mate...  at least when i make my own i can make it to exactly the size i need/want... depending on what i want to store...

and with timber, it's easy to add a shelf here or a draw there as well...

I built something similar but added locking dolly wheels so I can move the shelves around the man cave for cleaning etc ...

I'll drop a pic in later ....

my next little build will be a small trolley-type thing with similar wheels... :)

I built mine around a 1200 x 600mm chipboard shelf - used 90x35 pine as framing - initially started as somewhere to hold solar panels now it holds camping gear , tools , toys etc etc - have two mobile work benched one with drawer for small tools - wire strippers etc - one has my Ryobi chargers mounted permanently with an Aldi powerboard with twin LED lights ... If I can tidy it up a bit I'll post a pic or two ... M

that would be good... don't worry about it being tidy... my benches never are... :)

OK here's the work benches and 1 of 3 of the shelf units all have 3" locking dolly wheels.

thanks, mate...  :cup:

that first one is pretty much what i was looking to do...  didn't think about putting a draw on, but i do have a two-draw setup that i removed from my camper trailer kitchen... might have to incorporate that... :)

Mandrake

That first one is really handy for wheeling out to the DMax when I need to take the fridge out every now and then - saves my old back .. Can also dump tools on it if I need to work on the DMax - saves going in and out of the man cave or bending over to get stuff off the ground ...
