Re: walk in robe

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @dqlproperty. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about attaching shelving.

Are you planning to support the melamine shelving with wall brackets, or will you use side panels with pre-drilled holes for support pegs? Both options are effective, but the best choice will depend on the style you're aiming for and the weight of the linen you intend to store.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Re: walk in robe

Hello @dqlproperty 

 

I definitely recommend putting in a support bracket where the two shelves meet. This will prevent it from sagging or bending out of shape should weight be applied to it for an extended period of time. I've drawn up a sample image just to give you an idea of how it can be done, please note that the measurements are for reference only, please adjust them to your needs.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

 

Eric
