Afternoon Gents,
Feel a bit of a burke posting this. Had a shelving collapse in the garage last night. Shelving is supported by large brackets which are/was securely fixed. Or so I thought. Fixed to brick the shelf in question has been in place for years and no additional weight has been added for over year. They've never been a problem.
I keep my car garaged and if this had happened a couple of days ago I would have been looking at considerable front end damage. Thankfully, the car has been under the porch for the last three days. A very lucky escape and am still reeling somewhat from that realisation.
Needless to say all the shelves and brackets are going to be inspected before the car goes back. I may even remove the shelves and replace with racking. Thought best to mention this in case anyone else is taking their storage arrangements for granted.
