Reply to How to DIY shelves for a mini fridge? by mojojojo2842

I did something like this once for a garage beer fridge using custom cut plywood. I realize it's not the most sanitary idea but hear me out. I got good quality board dense board. Then I painted it with 1 part epoxy to make it as moisture resistant as possible. there was really only cans of beer & pops in there, so I wasn't concerned much. I never had any mold or mildew because I just made sure it was clean and dry. It's a cheap option and you can cut it exact if you have some wood working skills. This is reddit so I would expect a million down votes about how dangerous and irresponsible this is but blah blah blah.

Seconded. I have a ton of Harbor Freight stuff in my garage and it's all been pretty solid. And agreed on the reinforced cutting wheels. I snap the "normal" ones constantly, so I only use the reinforced ones now. And the ones with the EZ Lock are fantastic for ease in swapping them out.

I'm more worried about the lateral racking support as opposed to vertical loading, its old balloon framing. Spray foam and the dumpster fees are wildly outside my budget right now unfortunately. Would the foil facing inside the house create condensation between drywall and insulation? I guess it's better to get moisture in the new stuff than the structural stuff, if I had to choose. Thanks for your response!
