<p class="MsoNormal">can be customized to any shelf width. It is cheap (any metal fabricator can make it) and works really well. It helps if your collection is organized by catalog number rather than systematically, but in any case is a huge improvement over
bottles on shelves in terms of efficiency and safety in use. It’s the same idea as what Tom describes, but does not use wood.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:#1F497D">In Copenhagen we (generally) use shelves that are 500 mm deep. The problems that Dirk outlined with deep shelves is solved by having jars placed in wooden trays that are 500 x 235 mm
(and 70 mm tall). The whole tray can be taken out for topping up, and we don’t risk toppling other jars if we reach for one at the inner part of the shelf. Moreover we have the benefit that we can put labels about contents on the outer end of the tray.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:#1F497D">Larger jars that don’t fit in the trays or on the shelves are put on bottom shelves with double or triple height.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:#1F497D">For some historical reason one of our collections uses the system in a slightly downscaled version with smaller shelf depth and therefore shorter trays. The principle remains the same,
though.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span lang="EN-AU">We are getting down to the pointy bit of having to confirm the desired depth of shelving for our new ethanol vault storage. Right now our shelves are only about 300mm deep, which is really not
deep enough for some larger containers. We have specified 440mm deep shelving for the new space, but before pushing ‘go’ I thought I would ask if any of you have thoughts or very strong opinions about optimal shelf depth for storing jars of various sizes and
smaller drums.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
