How much weight will a shelf hold?
How height should I place my shelves?
In ½' drywall, with backclips every 12" and support braces every 42" and wall brackets where applicable the static weight capacity is as follows;
| Shelf Length | Open to open | Wall to Open | Wall to Wall |
| Total | Per ft | Total Per Ft | Total Per Ft |
| 1FT 75 75 | 90 90 | 105 105 | |
| 2FT 130 65 | 140 70 | 150 75 | |
| 3FT 135 45 | 150 50 | 180 60 | |
| 4FT 160 40 | 180 45 | 220 55 | |
| 5FT 175 35 | 200 40 | 250 50 | |
| 6FT 180 30 | 210 35 | 252 42 | |
| Over 6FT | Same as 6FT | Same as 6FT |
Our normal heights are 84" for the top shelf or top double hanging shelf, 72" for the long hanging shelf, 44" for the lower double hanging shelf (this is so you can put a basket system in later) and 12" from the floor for a shoe shelf and 7" spacing after that. Most shelving should be 12" apart, usually leaving extra room at the floor level.
