Metal shelves, so N.O.T., I hope.
I have a bunch (13) of metro wire mesh shelves, no posts.
Posts are $22 each.
My plan was to find something close to the clip size (those tapered round shims, whatever you call 'em), install a roll pin where I wanted a shelf, and the pin would hit the tapered clip/shim and the force of the shelf on the clip, squeezing it aganst the post, would take most of the weight. I don't think the actual groove/ridge in the metro post/clip really takes the weight, anyway.
The only pipe a good fit for the clips (have 'em) is 3/4 inch rigid conduit, but at $15 each, not enough of a price break to make a DIY effort worthwhile.
Any thoughts out there, before I just bolt the shelves to 2x4s?
Anyone have a bunch of posts, but no shelves?
