Thickness of Stainless Steel
Hi there!. Im designing a bookshelf for a store. I want the shelfs to be as thin as possible and to handle loas of max 3kg (or 6.6 pound) with a span of 36cm (or 14.3 inches) and 30cm depth (or 11.8 inches). I want it to be just a flat sheet of 2 mm Stainless Steel. do you think a 2mm sheet is enough? do you think is overkill?
thankyou so much
