Oil type finish for shelving

samedi 19 avril 2014

G'day Folks



It's been a while since I posted, babies and toddlers are quite time consuming.



I'm after some suggestions on the finish for my new shelving. I went all-out in one part of my shed and covered a complete 4 metre section of wall in 400mm deep shelving from floor to ceiling. This is where I plan to store my turps, metho, spirit solvent, and motor oil along with boxed up hardware and parts and a few miscellaneous bits and pieces that have had no "home".



The shelving is made from 5-ply glued and nailed to continuous hardwood slats. These shelves are screwed to welded steel angle brackets. The shelves are edged with hardwood strips. Yes, it's a bit over-engineered. However, I'm not planning on moving anytime soon and I have some heavy stuff to store.



Originally I was going to put some heavy-duty industrial floor paint on the shelves. However, they've come up quite nicely and painting them now seems a bit wrong. What do folks think about using a decking oil instead? I'm open to suggestions. It needs to be durable and hard wearing.



cheers
