Newspaper Article
Choose lumber for shelves with care
2001
Overview
The maximum span for each shelf between supports varies with the load and the material. As a general rule, 3/4-inch particleboard 10 inches wide can handle a load of 30 pounds per linear foot with supports 24 inches apart. You can stretch this span to 32 inches for 3/4-inch plywood or solid lumber and to as much as 60 inches for 1 1/ 2-inch lumber or glued-up double 3/4-inch plywood. If the shelf is reinforced with a 3/4-by-2-inch-wide stiffener along the front edge and a 3/4-by-2-by-6-inch-long support cleat under the rear of the shelf at the middle, you can increase these spans by 50 percent.
