Customer Creation: Industrial Shelves in shade ‘Dark Oak’

STEP ONE - Select your scaffolding boards!

Step one, of course, starts with selecting your timber! Whilst we have a wide array of different timbers, for these shelves we recommend Reclaimed Scaffold Boards! They a great versatile, strong and durable material, and are available in two thickness’ 38mm and 60mm allowing you to get the perfect look.

STEP TWO - Sand and wax the timber!

The next step is sanding your boards down smooth ready for the application of finishing wax. We recommend Briwax to seal and protect the wood. They also provide coloured stains making it easier to obtain your desired shade.
