I've just purchased these two sets of outdoor shelves to go alongside my garage so I can keep a few of my seed trays out of the way.
It occured to me though that where the metal verticle poles fitted into to plastic connectors they were probably going to be sitting in a small reservoir of water continuously seeing as the shelves are constantly exposed to the elements, therefore the ends of the poles could get rusty pretty quickly. I decided therefore to drill a 5mm hole in the bottom of each of the slots so hopefully the water will drain away PDQ and the poles will last a few years longer than they would have otherwise.
