I built my own, I couldn't justify parting with so much money they want for some shelves and there not to your specific requirements.
Get in the back of your van measure up! then go down to B&Q get some 12mm Plywood and get the instore machinist to cut it to size for you, then buy some self tapping screws, securing brackets NB:(very important to understand how much weight & stress your shelves will be under) Then erect them to your own personal requirements, sand down & varnish etc.
All in all it cost me about £70 to buy and about 6hrs labour.

Regards,
Rob.

Each sides has three boxed in shelves which are sub-divided and are deep enough to get standard 5L containers in.

i think you will find alltec offer 2 types of shelving, both from different manufacturers, 1 is the plain s/steel the other the blue coated.

Post by: sam1975 on July 09, 2007, 08:29:46 pm: use steel not wood
recomend L shape (right angles) drill and screw, one of the posts previously added a picture (i did the same) brilliant. ( I first used mdf for the shelves and it lasted 12 months now I have slats (steel too)
