I welded tabs to the split stantions 3'6" on center and screwed them to the purlins. Lots of good adjustable shelving for cheap. You can find this kind of shelving if you know where to look. Ask the manager of your local grocery if they have any excess or if if he knows where you can get some. It also comes up for sale at going out of business auctions. I have since made additional shelving for a friends shop and located more shelving for use in my shop.
A variety store just a block from me went out of business a few years ago. I have the same shelving on a wall in the shop a wall in the attic, a wall in the router room and 4' wide free standing shelves they put on the ends of the isles in the Camaro room and the storage shed. I like the adjustability of the shelves when inventory/stuff changes. :LOL:
