AusBonsai

Well it's on like Donky Kong in Wal's back yard today i am at it again building a big multi tier stand
It's made out of treated structural pine, and galvanized screws
Almost got the sides finished
1.7m high 1.5m wide 1m deep

Even threw a sicky to get it done... now thats dedication
All those broken computers will still be there tomorrow

More pics to come as i progress

i would say you need some cross bracing Wal and you will probably get sagging of your shelves IMO

Yer im going to attach bits of structural pine (off cuts) under the boards every 50cm to stop sag... also once they are screwed down they should act as bracing plus that will also help sag

I will be done soon enough so we can see

Hmmm

Hi Wal....nah i mean cross bracing your structure (frame)....it will end up wonky....your going to have a bit of weight sitting on the shelves i'm only a scaffolder maybe a carpenter can steer you in the right direction

Hmm thank you i shall ponder more

Regards
Wal

Looks good. Defiantly needs some cross bracing though.

Clearly im not a builder but i try hard

Wal

Would small ones down the bottom at the back be enough?
