Im going to order for delivery(no van) some ply to make some workshop storage, namely a base unit and enclosed shelving(for power tool boxes - bosch l boxx,systainer etc.

I would normally opt for 18mm, and i will if everyone thinks thats best, but inc delivery it works out at £70/18mm sheet(8x4)12mm is £57/sheet, so for the 3 i need thats a saving of about 40 quid.

Shelves instead of being dado'd in can sit on fixed supports. Basically screwed/nailed/glued together.


Units will consist of a base unit, about 3'Wx20"Dx30"H and on top of that will be shelving going up(3-4 shelves, and across- probably 8',divided into 4 spaces, maybe doors on those spaces, maybe not. Shelves and cupboards will probably be about 16" deep

Height/width of wall is 9'Hx11' wide so I basically want enough storage for multiple tool boxes(the shelves) and the spaces for things i dont use as often- grinder stands, router attachments and the like.

I'l be hanging the wall unit that goes across the wall on a french cleat.


Or do you think i should do a mixture, with 18mm sides, shelves or dividers at 12mm. Theres not going to be too great a weight on them.
