    a pair of 4 shelf brackets for my storage container

    Now that I have removed all of the large machines I had stored in the 53 ft. JB Hunt container. It seems the more I move things around the smaller things accumulate on the floor making it impossible to locate things when I want them and becoming a choke hold of debris to walk through. So today I decided it was time to make some use of the cubic rather than the sq. footage. by adding 4 more shelves 1 20 ft long and 3 8 ft long by making a couple of shelf brackets

    Soon I will make a few more of these to hang in the pockets on the other side of the container adding at least 4 more 20 ft long shelves

    Before having real space; but looking for it, visualized man of the shops I'd worked in.
    Private buildings did not make efficient use of cubic space, the leased/ rented ones did better. Two different mindsets; potential owners go for the biggest they can afford, renters the smallest.
    Well, I own mine but still think like a renter.
    Sincerely,

    At today's prices I am betting the wood cost more than the angle iron, Frank.

    Actually neither cost me anything the only cost was in the welding wire and the electricity the angle iron was salvaged from something I had torn down and the wood dropped off by me truck driver friend, many of the loads he hauls has either 2x4s 2x6s 3x6s 4x4s and sometimes even 2x12s used as dunnage when he gets unloaded the sites don't want the lumber, lumber they just lift the load off with a big forklift or crane leaving the wood behind. He straps it down and drops it off on his way back though
