which I want to convert into a toy cupboard (i.e. fit shelves). Can anyone suggest suitable materials and fixings for such a project?



TIA, Mark



I don't know how that happened. I set it up to point to the correct URL.

If anyone would help it is the B&Q Traditional White Style Double Wardrobe (EAN:0000003440445). I won't post a url again in case it goes wrong.

Don't click on the url. It has been hijacked.

The question is genuine.

The merits of different sheet materials are here:

inch melamine would be the most popular choice. Some care is needed to avoid chipping it during cutting.

Re fixings, you've got a few choices:

  • little tiny plastic press in things in 6m holes - cheap, weak, can fall out
  • 1"x1" woodstrip glued or screwed round 3 sides under the shelf - strongest option
  • 1"x1" metal brackets, available in packs of 10 from any DIY outlet.
  • Or for every conceivable option,

Thanks. I've bought some of this.

I'll go for this.

Thanks.

Spam is unwelcome in this group, as are spammers.

Without wanting to be too contentious - was the above really spam? Afterall it was at least posted to a thread about wardrobes. I thought that it wasn't frowned upon to mention commercial interests if they were relevenat to the discussion in progress (rather like the Hep people used to)

Not having a go at anyone, just wondering really.

Cheers

If they contibuted elsewhere as well then it wouldn't perhaps be spam. Posting only to advertise your company is spam.
