Archive:Sheet Storage

We need a place to carefully store all the wooden and acrylic plates we cut in our laser.

Requirements

• Size: Sheet size usually 100x80, so this is the minimum
• The sheets have to be stores on a plain, stable surface. We don't want to have the sagged material you typically get from the Baumarkt.
• We need several shelves to sort the material and get easy access to them (min. 3?)
• A few of our members want to store their own sheets and would rent space for it. Means maybe 3 additional shelves.

Proposal 1: Horizontal Mounting

Description:

• It is based on an Europalette with the size of 120x80cm. We can easily move it with the forklift then.
• In the bottom, there is room for the waste (small Mörtelwannen) separated in acrylic and wooden parts maybe.
• We add several shelves on top of it. Depending on the gap, we can have 6-8 of them.
• For each shelf, we use wooden slats instead of flake boards, Otherwise the whole construction might become to heavy.

Advantages:

• Material lies flat on the ground and cannot bend.
• We can just pile up in the high and have more space.
• Easy to build
• Cheap

Disadvantage:

• Plates are lying on each other, so it becomes a little bit more difficult to get them out (when sorted, should not be a problem).

Costs:

For the base construction

Europalette	1	- €	- €
OSB Platte 800x675x12mm	2	- €	- €
OSB Platte 1230x675x12mm	1	- €	- €
OSB Platte 2050x675x12mm	2	3,30 €	6,60 €
Holzlatte 200x5,8x7,8cm	4	2,98 €	11,92 €

That is roughly 20 €.

For one shelf:

Holzlatte 120x4,8x2,4cm	6	- €	- €
Holzlatte 250x4,8x2,4cm	3	0,80 €	2,40 €
Holzlatte 80x5,8x3,8cm	2	- €	- €
Holzlatte 200x5,8x3,8cm	1	1,48 €	1,48 €

That is roughly 4 € per shelf.

With 6 shelves the total amount is 44 €, with some chevrons and screws, roughly 50 €
