Default Shelves, shelves, shelves

Hi Lionel

Though I don't have a shipping container, when I built my new shop a few years ago I spent a lot of time figuring out storage for the 2nd floor.

Worst option no shelves, end result stuff one layer deep on the floor.

Option I went with, 3 layers of shelves 2 feet between layers, shelves 4ft wide with isle 3ft apart with main isle down the middle. The ide of the intermediate isle was the everything was only two two feet from isle. Now the first fill of storage the shelves filled up, and the intermediate isle got engines on rolling base or other easy to move stuff.

So with a shipping container I'd probably go with shelves 2 feet wide down sides.

Cheers Phil
