Hi all. I'm planning to put up some shelves on walls with plasterboards. I've already done that on another wall, a perimetral one made up as 12mm boards - cavity - bricks. I drilled a couple of exploration holes into an internal wall (in spots where the wall was sounding hollow), and it seems...

Hi, looking for some advice or ideas to make a project I have in mind come to life. I am looking to add clear acrylic covers to the shelving I have attached an image of below.

Hi all, I'm looking to replace my existing shelving unit with a newer bigger version, and wondered if there were recommendations for items to look at - it's a reasonable size I have to fill, so anything around 1800mm x 1200mm x 60mm would fit. Doesn't need to hold massive weight. Prefer a...

Hi everyone! I just wanted ask whether instead of using MDF for shelf cladding, I could use plasterboard cut to size and screwed onto the wooden frame? I think it might work, but this is my first big DIY project. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
