Ten Green is a shelving and table system, constructed simply from local recyclates. This unit developed from the modular shelving, as a means of building a single purpose shelving unit.
This unit was built using found timber and bottles from a big weekend party! You can use any found timber, and adapt the dimensions to suit the wood you are working with.
Kits are for sale at our shop here.

For one 5 tier unit you will need:
20 x wine bottles. All the same brand/height/shape preferable. Wash them thoroughly in hot soapy water.
10 x turnbuckles / hook and eye strainers as they are sometimes called. I used the smallest I could find, which are 20mm OD at the buckle and 6mm OD at the threads. Such as these from Screwfix.
10 x screw hooks (4mm diameter ones are best, such as these from Techni-cable).
10 x eye bolts, 6mm diameter, 150mm length. You will also require 20 x M6 hex nuts and 20 x M6 washers to go with these (in total), they often come with a nut and washer attached.
Depending on the height of your bottles, you may need 10 x ess hooks too to help the strainer reach between the upper and lower hooks (such as these at Warehouse Direct, although they're cheaper in a regular hardware shop).
6 x planks of wood, 300 - 400mm wide by up to 1200mm long.
If you wish to add or remove shelves, add or subtract the following quantities per shelf:
4 x bottles, 2 x turnbuckles, 2 eyebolts, 2 screw hooks, 1 plank.
