Building on the Sunshine Coast - Land settled 22nd July 2009 Building contract finally signed (after much deliberation on our part) 11th November 2009 Building commences 25th January 2010 - small local builder End of June - almost completed fit out 26th July - MOVE IN DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Re: My shoe wall - finally completed :) 13Jan 08, 2011 4:51 pm Erin, for the less handy among us (eg: me!) would you mind explaining what kind of fittings you used? It looks like from the picture that you bought lengths of melamine shelving and then spaced them closely, with just enough clearance for the shoes (and to squeeze more shelves in ) Did they need a lot of brackets to support them as they're so long? And with your hanging section, how did you do that? There's a lot of clothes hung there, does it have a support somewhere in the middle? Thanks! ~*~Moved in on the 16th April 2011~*~ Re: My shoe wall - finally completed :) 14Jan 08, 2011 5:23 pm zoe's mama Erin, for the less handy among us (eg: me!) would you mind explaining what kind of fittings you used? It looks like from the picture that you bought lengths of melamine shelving and then spaced them closely, with just enough clearance for the shoes (and to squeeze more shelves in ) Did they need a lot of brackets to support them as they're so long? And with your hanging section, how did you do that? There's a lot of clothes hung there, does it have a support somewhere in the middle? Thanks! All materials were from Bunnings (yay for Christmas vouchers) Hanging rails: (from the bath/shower accessory isle) 2 x Modular chrome tube 2700mm 25mm @ $20.03 ea 1 x pkt Rod modular cap fittings 25mm round - to attach the rails at the wall end @ $4.13 (from the fixing isle or thereabouts) 2 x Carinya scroll bracket storm pearl 300mm x 300mm - pretty brackets for the front end of the rail @ $16.10 ea 2 x Carinya stay bracket grey steal 250mm x 300mm - plain bracket for support in the middle of the rail @ $6.10 ea (from the plumbing fittings isle) 1 x pkt saddle clips kinetic poly pipe 25mm @ $8.77 One end was going to be easy, as it would be attached to the wall... We knew we wanted the rail to be 24cm from the wall, to allow for hangers to have enough room without hitting the wall. Unfortunately there was no stud 24cm from the wall... so Aaron nailed a length of pine (75mm x 19mm) between two studs, and the then the Rod modular cap fittings - like you see on the ends of shower curtain rods (basically that's what this is) was screwed into the pine. At the other end it was just our luck we had a stud roughly 2.7m further down the wall (the rail is 2.7m long) The pretty scroll bracket was attached to the stud, and a support plain boring bracket attached to a stud roughly in the middle. Aaron used the saddle clips to stop the rail from sliding off the brackets. Repeated this for the lower rail. Wall shelves: (from the storage isles) 2 x Shelving s/track handy shelf upright 2000mm @ $13.98 ea 18 x handy shelf brackets (these latch onto the upright pieces) @ $2.97 ea (from the timber isle) 9 x white melamine 16mm 2400mm x 295mm shelves @ $11.98 ea Aaron found two studs roughly 600mm in from where the end of each shelf would finish. He screwed the uprights into the studs, then clicked the brackets in, and sat the timber on top. The timber isn't attached, it's sitting flat on the bracket, and there's a little lip on the brackets that dont allow the shelves to slide out. I'll try and take some pics tomorrow that shows the details Re: My shoe wall - finally completed :) 15Jan 08, 2011 6:40 pm Thanks so much Erin for taking the time to post all the info. Y'know, I think we might just give it a whirl at our new place once we move in You make it sound quite easy! ~*~Moved in on the 16th April 2011~*~ My shoe wall - finally completed :) 17Jan 08, 2011 7:38 pm See as nice as it looks I could never have that setup LOL. A. Kids would tear everything off the shelves and B. I prefer everything behind doors so you can't see them. You are getting there Erin - must be proud of what you guys have accomplished. Some things are worth waiting for. Re: My shoe wall - finally completed :) 18Jan 08, 2011 8:49 pm Thanks for the supply list and instructions. We need to finish fitting out our WIR and might just copy some things. I do actually have 1/10th of your shoes! My oldest DS, though, is getting there. (If you're an 8 1/2 narrow you could send some my way when you do a clean-out.)
