Why would you not just have more anyway?
I have 12mm ply over 400mm centers in my shed, which will support 20kg between each bracket with no problems.
Also, it's a shed. Who cares if it deflects a more.

Well the aim is something a bit more than a shed eventually, but I take your point. Mainly I just don't want to have to redo it. But I'd also like it to not look shit in a years time.

This is useful. Cheers.

with that said - I have an alcove which is about 980mm wide (not plumb and wonky) - could I get away with 400/450mm centres then - its for a bookshelf build - originally I was going to run 3 support brackets - weight is about 50 -60kg possibly more (for comparison we have the billy bookcase which have bowed

It's going to be a range of shed/workshop shit.
I mean the length of the shelves is obviously a good point. Saginator said 70cm would be fine, which is what made me unsure. As it's a functional space and i'm going to install it fresh I can choose what spacing I go for. Total length is 260cm so adding one or two extra rails isn't a big deal.
Obviously ordering pre cut pine shelves is less hassle, so just trying to work out if the squeeze is worth the juice as it were.
