Step 6 Easy Shelves with "Slashed Box" Plywood Brackets

These were the long stock racks at Emeryville Squidlabs, built by the previous tenant.

The construction method should be obvious from these photos.
Each of the brackets consists of a diagonally-sectioned box structure.
These very simple plywood brackets are held together with drywall screws.
Very strong, very quick to build. The large protruding vertical bolts kept the pipes, boards, and other long things stored on them from toppling off sideways.

These photos were taken with the shelves partly disassembled.
