Materials: Billy 40x106 cm, Billy 80x106 cm, Metalbar
Description: I hung up two small Billy bookcases (40x106 cm and 80x106 cm) onto the wall. First I cut of the bottom part. Then I fixed a metal bar to the back of the side parts. I used 4 screws for each side. The metal bar is fixed such that part of it is sticking out. This part is used to fix the bookcase onto the wall with 2 screws on each side. The bookcases are hanging up side down, so you can't see the part where I cut of the bottom.
Now there is room beneath for a desk.

Billy shelves aren't made from solid wood so the "side parts" aren't really good for screwing into. Don't put heavy stuff onto your shelves as I fear that too much weight will simply rip the four screws out from the sides.
ReplyDeleteIt looks quite stable for now even full of books. I used 5 cm long screws. There are 8 screws on one Billy. The 80 cm wide Billy weights 30 kg. With books inside I guess not more than 80 kg. That would be 10 kg per screw. I hope that's enough.
