I use Ikea shelves for LP storage. They are just the right size and can handle 50-100 lp's per section of shelf. They were inexpensive at the time.
LP storage advice please?
I inherited my pop's system and LP collection. It's roughly 2,100 LPs. I say 'roughly' as I did not count them when I packed them up due to time constraints. There are 14 U-Haul boxes that are 26" in length. At roughly 6 LPs per inch that comes to 2,184 LPs, give or take for double albums and a handful of box sets. In case you're curious, it's: 2,184 x 180gr = 393,120gr or 866lbs. About 61.8lbs/box.
My question is, how high do you think I could safely stack the boxes of LPs so as not to damage the contents?
Currently I limited myself to 3 high so the bottom box is supporting ~120lbs. Can I go higher as to reclaim some floorspace in my climate controlled storage unit?
Thanks!
Happy listening.

@68pete they're on end, of course! The boxes are heavy moving boxes, all new. Regarding mold, the condo was airconditioned and well maintained. And as I mentioned, everything is currently in climate controlled storage. Happy listening! |

They are available all over. No anchoring is necessary. Gravity does a great job.
Here is a reference on Amazon. But worth researching. The doubles are great for stacking high. Use this to search Amazon. Way Basics Vintage Storage Blox Cube Organizer Shelf
