Shelves

Ok, Can you get shelves that go on wall without any nails?


I want to put some in my uni room for more storage, except i can't put nails on the wall

I can't say I've personally seen any beyond free standing and those usually used in bathrooms. The adhesive would have to be quite strong to support the uneven load introduced, given there would be little support to balance the centre of gravity; or if there is support, it would have to be strong enough to support the overall weight.

I suppose you could get a shelf which is hung via strings/rope from a central point above, like with a suction cup, but I imagine that would be quite unstable.

If you want to put anything on it, then in a word - no.

cant you just use nails and fill in the holes when you're done with it?

VELCRO THEM TO THE WALL

I haven't heard of any. Would they even be able to hold anything if they didn't have nails?!

[Hannah]

The best thing I can recommend is standing shelves, I doubt you'll find anything without nails, and if you did I doubt they'd be stable at all.

blutac everything to ur wall

you're better off just getting a large table in your room because there's no way you're gonna ge a shelf like that in the UK anyway
it's your own house now isn't it with uni friends though why can't you use nails

A very strong glue which would cause more damage when removing the shelf than hanging it with nails would :P

Most landlords say blahblah no nails or marks on the wall, no this, no that. If you have a half decent landlord, they won't mind that much. In all the places we've lived in I've always smacked nails and screws into the wall and when moving out either leave what was put up in place, or remove the screws, fill in the holes and pop a little bit of paint over it because in most instances of rented houses, the walls will be magnolia which a tester tub would probably be £1 or similar

how did you get into uni if u think nails can support a shelf

[Sian]

double check with your landlord, let them know you need extra storage space and would like some shelves up. Make sure you get him to email/send a letter detailing if he gives any instructions about it (you really don't want to get caught out if you're all particular about getting the right amount of deposits back).

So yeh, the best thing to do as, as everyone else has said, you won't get any other type of wall shelving.
