You can get moisture resistant Mdf. Used it to encase the pipes under our boiler. Peter Millard is a fan, which is good enough for me.
Sharkstar-
Yeah, I've seen that. I was hoping there would be an easy way to make use of the shelves that came with it. I did a bit of reading around and there seems to be a million different options and every thread just deteriorates into "improve ventilation/treat the source of the damp" etc.
Probably just slap a few coats of whatever we have left in the cellar over them. If it works, great. If it doesn't, then it's new shelf time.

Question about cellar shelving. Given it's always going to be a little damp down there, am I asking for trouble getting getting something with MDF shelves (like so)? Is it just a case of slapping a bunch of Ronseal (or similar) on it?
I'd stick with those cheap all-metal shelves if I could get them 400mm deep without having to jump up into the "so professional, so pricey" bracket.
