Making shelves

We've run out of room in the greenhouses. Hardly surprising given the amount of stuff we have on the go at the moment. But the 2nd greenhouse is hardly in a fit state at present. It only has a few pallets in there to act as temporary shelves.

So after the morning shop duty, today was all about building better shelves. I have a very long pallet that's the ideal length to fit down the long walls (8ft) but when you do that it sticks out way too much. So the best thing to do is to cut it in half length-ways. Then interlace the slats with each other to make a stronger shelf.

Of course doing this makes the long bar slightly offset (as shown in the picture) so you have to trim them afterwards, which is no big deal.

I didn't get round to finishing today. I really need to get some legs put on the shelf to lift it up somewhat. I'll need to start chopping some of the Estate Agent signs that I've accumulated over the years as those would be ideal. Certainly a better use for them than simply being thrown in the gutter which is what happens to most of them here.
