Storage - Battosai - 29-10-09

I've asked this a few times on here, how do most of you stack your Supes?

Also, where do you stack 'em?

I've had to reinforce and number of boxes at the bottom of the pile with thick cardboard all around the outskirts inside the box to literally stop them from caving in with all the weight of the boxes on top of them. Is anyone doing something similar, and if you aren't, how do avoid the lower boxes caving in?

Some pics of your stacks would also be nice, if any of you can be arsed.

Get some shelving asap.
Fuck stacking boxes for a living.

RE: Storage - streak - 29-10-09

have a look at sk8's thread.

mine are just stacked up, some of the bottom boxes are pretty crushed

RE: Storage - Battosai - 29-10-09

Yea, P. Shelving is definitely coming to mind now, cos my bottom boxes can't take much more even with the reinforcments in them.

Problem is I'm seriously running out of space and stacking is the only option without a serious furniture overhaul of an entire room.

@streak, how many do you have stacked up in a row? Just wondering what the threshold might be before it literally comes tumbling down

I wouldn't go over ten and stack them like bricks if possible.
Nobody does but it'd be better for the "bricks" if you did.

I've got some of my boxes on shelves, only go 3 high though so they're fine. Rest are under my bed. Would love to have them all kept together ala Sk8, but I just don't have the space.

RE: Storage - streak - 29-10-09

erm.. 20 high.

RE: Storage - Big J - 29-10-09

Your just a renegade that plays by your own rules though...

RE: Storage - streak - 29-10-09

true..true

RE: Storage - Big J - 29-10-09

RE: Storage - Big J - 29-10-09

I got my shoes in a shelving unit under my dressing table and the empty boxes stacked on up on the top of my wardrobe

B if you have space problems get shelves that you install straight onto the wall, places like ikea sell them.
that way you can have shelves above other furniture and they're not units that have to be on the floor etc

I'm considering getting half a dozen of these ikea 30cm wide "floating" shelves that attach to the wall to display my more expensive shoes above my dresser, that way it free's up my floor shelving for the shoes I wear more frequently

RE: Storage - Big J - 29-10-09

They're grand as long as you don't overload them. My dick of a mate fucked up his flat putting far too much weight on them things, ripped right out of the wall.

I have some above my desk, and least twice a year I'll bang my head right on the corner of one of them. Fucking things.

RE: Storage - Battosai - 29-10-09

The first stack I saw almost topplling was only 12 high.

I figure you were fortunate enough to get a lot of boxes in factory condition, streak?

I find the anniversary boxes to be made of stronger cardboard and all the ones I've got came with factory standard boxes - I reckon you could get a really high stack of those

I'm stacked 4x10 at the moment, which, uncannily, P put up. That's with reinforced boxes n'arl.

Then again, most of the boxes my Supes have come in are in average condition and all bent out of shape anyway, which makes stacking them impossible without reinofrcing the boxes first.
