Re: How to add shelves to a broom cupboard?

Hello @NanaMegan 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about adding shelves to your broom cupboard.

 

Looking at the picture you posted it appears to be a melamine covered cabinet. I propose using CUSTOMpine 16 x 1800 x 445mm White Matt E1L Carcass Shelving Standard Particleboard and using a hand saw to cut it down to size. You'll also need to drill holes for the Taskmaster 5mm Pin Clear Plastic Shelf Support

 

The general steps will be to measure the width and depth of the cabinet. You then cut a portion of the particle board in that size. An easier option would be to copy an existing shelf in the cabinet if it's available. You then choose where you want to have the shelf positioned and drill 4 holes to hold the plastic shelf support.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

 

Eric
