not long enough, I want one consistent piece across the studs. Like I said...I'll check menards IRL. If anything, I could slice a slab of MDF into shelves and paint it pink...with sparkles...it'll look pwetty and FABULOUS!

You're gonna need at least one support along an 8' long shelf anyway. Just join 'em with some wooden dowel pins at a center support. Plus, they be a lot more manageable and modular at that length

I am putting a track on every stud.

Sorta overkill, but can't hurt obviously.

I am mostly doing this to prevent bowing.

I wish I owned my home and could do that

I have three shelves up, and all my UGCs fill them.....8 ft long boards....

Sounds kind of like my setup:



Just got some 8ft. long by six inch deep finish boards from Home Depot and made shelves out of 'em, no painting or cutting involved.  I, too, opted for brackets at every stud just because.   I originally wasn't going to frame it but once I started getting enough shelves I figured why not.  Plus, it means the UGCs can't domino off the sides and suffer the fate that the case holding my Megaman 3 cartridge suffered.  With this I can stuff 84 UGCs per shelf, leaving room for the bracket in the middle.  With nine shelves that gives me room for 756 UGCs, which will be plenty for me.

8 footers here too.

Out of curiosity, what are those cases with just white labels for?

Just games that are missing proper covers.
Old picture so many of those have been done already.

You need to post new pictures.

I know, but I'd had to clean first.

I have 5 shelves up, need to get the rest up...right now the room smells pleasantly of wood.
