Hi Everybody!
Quick question. If making a torsion box for a shelf is it best to use:
1. Strips the length of the shelf width with shorter ones in between them running depth wise to form the grid pattern;
2. Strips the length of the shelf depth with shorter strips running across the width of the shelf; or
3. A mixture of the above eg if have a "grid" with 5 rows from front to back of shelf rows 1,2,4,5 are strips that span the width of the shelf and row 3 uses shorter strips (so you have longer strips running along the depth between rows 2 &
I'm sorry if the above's a bit confusing I wish I knew how to sketch it out on my phone!
I'm just wondering if any of the above offers an advantage over the other.
Many thanks (as always)!!!
