Kris,
My mate owns a business that manufactures wire display shelves for
shop displays.
Any engineering or fabrication
shop should be able to make this up for you. Look up "Engineers" in the yellow pages and there should be a subheading "General Fabrication" or something similar. Being such a small job I imagine one of the smaller
places would be more likely to take the job on.
My shelf system was easy to make. It is 19mm SHS (same as cargo barrier) bent at the corners, welded at the join with 2" x 1" mesh welded on and holes drilled in the right
places. The brackets are just flat bar cut to size, bent in the right spots and holes drilled. It is all powder coated.
My set up (2 frames beside the fridge, the horizontal shelf, brackets) cost $200 for all materials, labour and powder coating compared to the black widow items (horizontal shelf and only one frame beside fridge) for something like $560.
It would be very easy to make yourself, even if you had to get an engineering
shop do the bends for you. There is nothing else but some short welds and some holes drilled.
The only caution I give you is to make sure that you don't have the shelf made so wide that you can't get it throught the doors when trying to install it.
Hope this helps.
Ando
