Second guessing shelving choice


Gr0in

Recommended Posts

I have built a couple of 20 gallon tanks but now im second guessing the choice of shelving. Has anyone else used bunnings garage shelving? They say they are rated to 180kg per shelf. Im picking each tank filled will be around the 100kg each. The metal is fairly light weight so being in good old Christchurch I imagine if we have any decent earthquakes the movement would just buckle and end in disaster.

Thoughts? Im contemplating building custom shelving instead using 4x2 but thought I would see if anyone uses this type of shelving.

The tanks I got made to fit the shelves but from what I've been reading they are not ideal (especially in an earthquake) so decided to build some instead. They turned out pretty well and didn't cost a fortune. Will hopefully dress them a little them a little better with some panels in the future.
