Hey folks,

The previous owners of the house put in 3 twin track sections spaced 32 inches apart with 24 inch brackets for shelving. The brackets support 7/16 OSB that is 86 inches long.

I wanted to replicate this setup in a different section of the garage and according to the manufacturer the shelf will support 100 lbs per linear foot if the tracks are spaced 16 inches apart.

Since mine are spaced 32 inches apart does that mean the shelf supports 50 lbs per linear foot? Should I use plywood instead of OSB? I''ll be using it to store plastic totes of clothes, seasonal decorations, etc.
