Never had a call back from a client for shelf pin issues, but have had a few shop cabs lose shelves, its always the plywood giving up. I'd guess the sleeves reenforce the leading edge of the plywood a bit, thats the place I've seen a failure. The shear strength on a 1/4" metal pin is quite sufficient I'm sure especially with a few at the back - it's the holes in the ply getting elongated that I'm concerned about - so I think the sleeves are essential. I'm pretty comfortable that the sleeved pins will be best. Overkill? No sag allowed!!!īack to the opening question (sort of) - anyone ever have shelf pins fail?Ĭan't get load ratings on shelf pins but I thought it's worth asking here. This will be covered by the solid wood edge.

I do intend to rabbet a slot in the front edge of the longest shelves to add a strip of 3/8" thick x 1/2" tall full length piece of steel. I prefer not to get into laminating plywood for the shelves -too many. AND he has already rejected the side standards with clips - I agree they would look too shop like. My client intends to load them up with "heavy books".Ĭan't get load ratings on shelf pins but I thought it's worth asking here. The sagulator is telling me that even the 1" thick ply shelf with an 1-1/2" x 3/4" wood edge at 52" x 11-1/2" will likely sag with 40 lbs of books per running foot.
