Heavy-duty steel shelving of 18-gauge or lower is generally recommended for records. storage. The smaller the gauge number, the stronger the shelving; thus 16-gauge or 12-. gauge steel shelving is also appropriate. Shelving higher than 18-gauge is weaker and. may not be appropriate for records storage.
Gauge Is thickness. The higher the gauge number the thinner the metal. The chart below shows approximate gauge thickness for metal to give a relative idea of different gauges. It is in American Standard Gauge of thickness. Below is an information only chart please see our catalog listings at the left for the thicknesses we have available in various metals.
