Does anyone know if you could remove the bottom front section of these shelving units on the bottom?
I wouldn't I've had some in the garage. They rely on all the pieces to make up the strength. They are only made from something like 16guage. The shelves are about 4mm MDF and just sit in the frame. The mdf is not moisture resistant and unless the item sits on the steel, they begin to shrink.
Note the 'had'. -
I've done similar, it's fine.

I have them in my studio storage and it's fine so far. The whole bottom row is missing the bottom shelf and front bar on mine. I think I screwed them into the wall for good measure.

Screwing into the wall and floor where you’ve removed sections would be my advice. Racking like that often benefits from extra fixings to stiffen it up.

Basically I want shelving along most of a wall in our outbuilding, but there's a tumble dryer that'll take up part of the space. I could just not have metal shelving and then have regular shelves, but I sort of like the idea of just one wall of fuck loads of shelving.
