This is my Idea for a basic supporting subframe for a heavy duty shelf. The idea is to provide support for upto 1 tons of liquid weight distributed roughly evenly across the shelf. The target support is in fact 4 tons. Safety support by a factor of 4.Material 2" * 6" pine timberThe frame will be provided with aditional support through more horizontal beams between the front and rear beams as well as sheets of 19mm (3/4") marine ply screwed to each contacting supporting surface. (Not pictured)The Key is as followsGrey = Concrete supporting wallGreen = Concrete mounted Brace using self expanding anchor bolts.Blue = Supporting subframe peices.Yellow = Diagonal load bearing supports.Length and width is 270cm * 80cm Height aprox 80cmAny Engineers want to throw their eye over this basic design for me and offer some advice on how I might improve this?I'm fairly certain that this will do the job needed but I may be missing something. Though the Front Beam should probably be screwed between the side beams instead.https://ift.tt/2OClyny via /r/DIY https://ift.tt/2Qr8heU
