No-one has mentioned it being a problem when I have discussed it If you are planning on having joinery span 3.6m without any vertical bracing (external or internal to the wall) I would consider explicitly discussing the risk of sag with your joiner. The wall of the side the shelving is on is less than 3000mm as the entry door to the pantry is on that wall. Also, the short wall without the window at the far end is going to have a 600mm bench coming out from that wall which will reduce the length of wall the shelving will be able to be on by that amount so it’s going to be just over 2m I think by the time we are done. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=89059 Re: Open pantry shelving 6May 06, 2018 10:15 am aphsta ...so it’s going to be just over 2m I think by the time we are done. For the record, my joiner is wary of spanning 16mm laminate more than 1m without a support due to sag over time. Maybe he is over cautious - maybe not. YMMV, so I suggest you talk to your joiner.

I actually dont like spaning any more than 800mm! At anything over 700mm I put a centre shelf pin in the back of the cabinet and suggest anything over 900 be fixed or have a 40mm vertical strengthening rail under the front edge.
