    Thanks DW!! I really liked your pallet shelf solution.... I am chewing on how to incorporate that myself.

    She may have found the original pic on Pintrest.... they had just a small wall section if I recall correctly. This is 12 X 6 feet or so and much more than what they had posted in their plan.... plus their shelf boards might have been 1 inch or less. I jazzed it up a bit ;)

    They hold can foods really well....2 inch shelves and rigid conduit can hold any kind of weight easily. I have enough space to use can organizers so I can stack it deep if I like..... though I get called a hoarder by the Mrs if I fill it up to much...... :lol:

    I suspect steel ...note the heavy jack stand for support.

    They are traditional warehouse pallet racks. They are steel. Look at the left side of the picture and you can see the side piece with the holes for adjusting the shelves. There is a different font and back piece and in this case there look to be 2x6s cut for the deck.

    It says something for how heavy all that ammo is that they needed to support the middle with the jack.
