I supported the bottom shelf with all the ammo cans by stacking scrap plywood underneath until it sat touching the bottom of the lowest shelf. (Those cans are all full, double stacked. They weigh a lot!)
I then cut pieces of 5/8” Plywood that fit under each particle board shelf. On center I screwed in place an upright 2x4 brace with a 4” square 5/8” plywood topper so that it basically makes a straight column from the upper shelf all the way to the bottom. All of the shelves are stacked full, 2’ deep and 4’ across.
I’ve had this set up in my garage for at least 15 years with no warped beams or shelves sagging, etc.
Stay safe.
I see thank you for sharing the info!
