Storage Shelving Made in USA

[oldtimehockey]

Can anybody recommend some steel (or even plastic) storage shelving that is Made in the USA? Just your normal duty garage or work shop storage...nothing too outrageous. Could be wire or maybe plywood shelves.
Thanks for all or your help.

I'm seriously considering building my own...Hopefully I can score some American made nails or screws from Harry Epstein.

You could make your own nails out of american made bar stock...

I always thought nails were made from wire...

They are. I was trying to be humorous...

I forget the brand name, but we have a bunch in the basement that we bought at Lowe's for my wife's business. They all said made in USA. Might try there. They are gray steel with particle board shelves.

Seville Classics sold at Sams club are made in USA.

These are the Edsal shelving units.

I needed some in a pinch, and went with two of these units put together as a wall unit.

I don't regret the purchase at sale price... But they are definitely lacking as a permanent solution. The OSB sags, so plywood replacements are going to be mandatory if you plan on having much weight on them...

The steel supports are also rather sharp, and flimsy.

I use the shelves to store a ton of various size empty coolers and pelican cases. Not a lot of weight at all... Maybe 50 pounds per shelf at most.

Im still looking for their successors!

My wife sells bath and body works lotions and whatnot via ebay and Amazon. She has thousands of bottles of that stuff stacked on these shelves, both as just bottles and as cases. Some of the shelves are double stacked with 50 lb cases, so I would say there is 400 lbs or more on a shelf. A couple of the shelves are over 5 years old and still holding up.

Plywood would definitely be an upgrade, but we haven't seen the need. I went downstairs and counted---we have 12 of these units total in the basement, and we have 3 more in a rented storage unit.

Only issue we have had is that the particle board can't handle getting wet.

I'd say Edsal or Tennsco cabinets and shelving. They're both Made in the USA.

Most of the medium to heavy duty shelving at my local Home Depot is made in the USA. Both metal and plastic stuff.

Shouldn't be too hard to source.
