Hi Everyone.
I think I’m going to end up spending hours on here lol Hopefully it will keep me from buying so many bulbs online which is what my question is really about. I have corregated iron fencing and wanted an idea for how to build shelves or use pellets etc for hundreds of small pots from 7cm to about 12cm for splitting up all my bulbs that will be put at the gate for sale. I have wood, iron and pellets and other bits and peices in my handy piles and really prefer to use things I have as most of my money goes on my animals which I’m mad about besides my bulbs. I have quite a few health problems and in a lot of pain 24/7 with spinal stenosis, fibromyalgia and brittle bones but I don’t like sitting around and brought a bigger house and 3 acres so my animals would have an extra 2 acres. Unfortunately since then a lot have died and that’s when I got into bulbs. I don’t have enough long lengths of wood to reach between the posts so wondering if cutting up pellets and screwing them onto the posts would work. I thought maybe 3 on each post with a board across the front so they don’t fall off and maybe painted white with a black name tag and paint pens once I work out what is what after a bad wind blew about 300 tags out of different varieties lol will add a photo of the fence and a a few of my collection. I thought it might keep them dry in the dormant season rather than me having to try and find places and more hundreds and hundreds of pots. Any ideas please and thanks 🙏 please excuse the gard en at the moment. Have about 12 times that much at least so trying to get all the bulbs that can stay out into gardens to cut down on the work with the pots but still keep the varieties separated.
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Funnyfarm. It's marvellous to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about building shelving.
Some great advice there from @Jewelleryrescue.
Did you say you have some pallets? They would be perfect for creating the sides of your shelves. You start with two pallets on their edge and screw some timber between them for your shelves. Once you have a solid base, you could add another two pallets on their sides for a second level. Given you are working with the bits and pieces you have there, perhaps you might like to take some pictures of the objects you'd like to use to build the shelves and our helpful members might have further ideas.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi @Funnyfarm
I was talking carpets ripped up from peoples rooms when they replace carpet in the house plus the under felt for cushioning they need to pay to dump that so a good home for some of it might be a win win for carpet place and you and emu.
Small carpet squares might be more problems than they worth if that was what you mean by carpet squares. 
To insulate floor collect the foam packing boxes and lid some fruit comes in and cut it and wedge it between floor joists for a firm fit before floor boards go on. every bit a good as bought insulation.
