Started off with some 12mm 1200 by 1200mm piece of plywood from Bunnings. Cut it to 1200 W and 600mm D
90◦ piece of steel bar cut in the middle was going to be my two mounting brackets for the shelf. 2 holes drilled through the bar then with some large washer and nuts and bolts acted as the anchoring point to mount the bracket to the cargo barrier. Ensure to use thicker washer at the back of cargo barrier as the skinnier ones bent when being tightened to the cargo barrier.

Two more holes where then drilled as these would be the holes that would secure the shelf to bracket. I didn’t drill the holes in the middle of the bracket more to the edge as I wanted to ensure I had enough space to fit a socket and ratchet around the head of the bolt and not to hit the cargo barrier when tightening. These brackets will stay permanently mounted to the cargo barrier making for a quicker setup time.

From underneath I marked and then drilled the holes into the plywood.
Using some 85mm wide by 25 mm thick wood I cut it size as this was going to be the edging for the shelf. The piece at the front was 50mm H by 1200mm long and the 2 pieces on the sides 35mm H and cut to length which was then screwed with timber screws. A galvanized strip with holes in it would act as the perfect support for the shelf. The holes in the strip were perfect to use with an ochy strap to hold down tubs or other items giving you adjustment as well.

Adjustment was then made to ensure the shelf was sitting level and then holes were drilled through the wooden side edging and lined up with the existing holes on the galv strip. Once screwed in place the end of the strip was then bent to fit underneath the shelf to act as a bit more of support.

Dad seem to have the perfect piece of aluminium channel that was the perfect length and track width for the 12mm thick plywood to slide easily, and powder coated in white to easily be seen as again this channel will be permanently mounted to my false floor. A new piece of plywood was then cut to the length of the channel and to the height from the floor to underneath the shelf. Keep in mind the thickness on the channel for both the top and the bottom. This piece is to slide out easily and be removed when packing, making it easier installing the fridge slide and also to protect the fridge. It simply slides back in once everything is done. A countersunk wood screw was used at the front and a bolt with a larger head to act as a stopper was used and the back.

Once everything was lined up it was then time to carpet. Liquid nails and weight plates came in very handy at this point.
