I made this
2x2 ....well 45mmx45mm in modern day equivalent! and some boarding of your choice from cheap as chips chipboard to what i have here, offcuts of
trailer boarding which was free to me.
Custom sizes to suit your needs or constraints and plenty strong enough.
Easily made by a man of your caliber!
Excuse the mess!

angle iron is great. Cut to approx length and a quick tac with an arc welder and away you go..

I get regular bumph from digdug which seems reasonable - although angle iron will be more flexible.

+ 1 for these shelving units.
I use these in the garage and my sheds, very versatile and will support a fair load if sensible about distribution. Rust, corrosion and vermin proof
although I haven't actually had to test it for vermin yet

The stuff from Big Doug is good. I bought a couple of units from Shelfsave as per the OP and was disappointed at how lightweight the metal frame is,
but to give it credit I've loaded it up to the max and it's holding up well after 12 months. Did fix it to the wall though just in case.

I got a set of these too.
Agreed...OK for lightweight stuff.
They need securing to the wall to stop them twisting vertically.
Just dont overload them with gearboxes and engines. They wont take it.
As said, good for lightweight stuff.
Not dissapointed with them for the cost. Next lot of shelves will be self built and a lot stronger for the heavy bits.

Got some cheap steel racking off ebay. I think i paid £18 each for a pair of shelves which are pretty sturdy. Being steel they can be wiped down
etc.
