There was never going to be a chance of a mezzanine in my humble suburban shed, so i settled for useful storage space :)

as you can see there were some specifics, high enough to fit complete motors under, and long enough to fit a holden 6 head :P

I built the big one, the yellow one is an existing one I stripped to bare metal and repainted the same colour as it was. It has the metal panels but when I took that pic it wasn't done yet.

Looked a lot better off than being buried 50mm deep into the dirt floor lol.

Both those setups are nice and substantial, vlad's and holden202t's. Only thing I would do different is multiple units under 3 m, just so I can move them around. All my workbenches I have are made from off cuts and the shipping crates that our machines at work come in.

Here are some photos of the work benches I made.

And the shelving units I scored from work a few years back. I have another bank of two units also.

Please excuse the mess. I have a few balls in the air at the moment.
