Being the owner of a suburban area with a house, you have a unique opportunity - to have your own cellar . This important and useful room helps us with the storage of vegetables and fruits, cans with conservation, bottles of wine and much more. Of course, for all this you need a reliable storage system, namely shelves and racks.
How correctly to make shelves in a cellar?
There are many options from which to make shelves in the cellar - wood, metal, concrete and brick. As for the dimensions, they will depend on the size of the cellar and the size of the container, which is planned to be stored on them.
You can place the shelves as a single monolithic construction in the whole wall, or in small separate sections. If the cellar is more than 2 meters wide, the shelves can be placed on either side of the aisle, leaving enough room for movement.
How to make shelves in a circular cellar: in this case, the placement of the shelves is most likely to be radial, that is, around the cellar's circumference, except for the entrance door. This form of cellar and shelves is very convenient, but only if the diameter of the room is sufficient.
Thinking about how best to make shelves in the cellar, remember that you do not need to leave large spans between the shelves of the shelves, because under the weight of the cans the shelf segment can bend and even break. The distance from one support to the other should not exceed half a meter.
No matter how you decide to make shelves for cans in the cellar, their design should assume good ventilation, as well as the ability to take wooden shelves out onto the street for drying. Otherwise, mold may become moldy due to the activity of various microorganisms, or corrosion will occur in the case of metal shelves.
Undoubtedly, before you make a shelf in the cellar, it must be properly treated with dampness. And also calculate its thickness, depending on the severity of the things that will be stored on it.
Sequence of work on the manufacture of shelves for the cellar
First of all, you need to make all the necessary measurements and draw a layout of the shelves in your cellar. Further, having stocked up with all necessary tools and materials, it is possible to begin manufacturing of support racks. Their number will depend on the size of the future design. The thickness of the supports must be sufficient for its reliability.
After the installation of supports, the time of manufacture and installation of crossbeams comes. Supports are attached to the walls of the basement, the crossbeams are mounted directly to them. They will keep the future shelves.
Directly the shelves are made of solid boards or sheets of chipboard. They are attached to the crossbeams. Do not forget to make slots for vertical beams in the shelves in advance.
In the case of concrete and brick shelves, making them will be more difficult, therefore, it will probably require the help of specialists.
