Metal shelving (Maxton TD6)
Withdrawn
A section of metal shelving available free. This was given to me two or three years ago by a Freegler and I've made good used of it in my workshop since then, but it's no longer needed as I'm reorganising. The diagonal supports at the back are missing, but any baton or rod fixed across the back will work, or it can be screwed into the wall. The shelves can be moved to suit the depth of shelf space as required. It can be dismantled for removal. Collect from Maxton.

I need to patch up some small areas on the harling. I can't find small amounts in the shops. I don't mind if the white's not the same white as the house colour because the area needed is so small it won't show. I'd be very grateful if anyone has some to give. Thanks.
