shelf

Hi there, We have put up a shelf in an alcove in our loft. As it's a fairly large gap and an odd shape we had to use oak veneered MDF to make it work in one piece. On top of the shelf will sit a projector of around 7kg, a playstation and some other smaller bits and bobs like small lights and...

Hi, I am looking for a solution to a shelving problem. The walls are crumbly and I would like to be able to put up a shelf without putting in typical wall fixings. I would like to support the shelf using a horizontal brace. I thought there must be something already out there (e.g...
