Are these shelves hanging from the ceiling dangerous?
Are these DIY garage shelves partially hanging from 2x4 (not 2x6) ceiling joists that run quite a ways from wall to wall (probably over 24 feet) without any ground support? I am concerned that it could collapse. The person who did it says I shouldn't be concerned and they can support a lot of weight. I don't think they want to add more support from the bottom because the floor supports would obstruct the floor storage area. I think it's only the front of the shelves that have no bottom support as the back of the shelves probably (and hopefully) have support from the walls. NOTE: I'm not a framer/carpenter or big DIY construction person.
