Finally got my outdoor freezer. Batons on the walls using those Fisher hammer in things and some sticks like shit adhesive.
No idea how people on YT get these things perfectly level. Did absolutely everything including having a bit of help from the adhesive but the holes still walked a bit. I wonder if I have unrealistic expectations of "level" as in the end the shelf is sitting flat.
Still need to paint to protect as it's just mdf. Also as I'd like to not worry about weight I think I'm going to fix another 3? X 45cm baton to the front and then see if I can find something in the shed to make a neat edge.
Was originally going to drill some air holes at the back, but the gap above the freezer seems pretty sizeable, not not sure if it's needed.
If you assume the drill bit will wander a little,
you need a little built in adjustment.
For stuff that no-one will see, (slightly) oversize holes through the baton,
and a penny washer under the screwhead to hide any 'up & down',
and to spread the holding force.
