Industrial shelves

Make practical log storage a stylish feature in its own right with this rustic shelving unit made from scaffold poles and boards, like Hannah's

1. Use an angle grinder with a metal cutting blade fitted to cut a 5m-long x 33mmdeep aluminium alloy scaffold pole into two 1m lengths, and ten 24cm lengths.

2. With the scaffold pole cut to length, it's time to assemble all the pieces. For the shelves, you will need four 90° elbow joints, six long tee joints and ten wall plates. Make sure you use fittings that are 33.7mm-deep to fit the scaffold pole. First, loosen all the hex screws on the fittings using an 8mm hex or Allen key so the scaffold pole can easily fit inside.
