The Plano shelves (from what I've seen) are not suitable for this application as there is a slight indention in the middle of each shelf. Also I think the dimensions might be a bit off (the shelves aren't deep enough I think). Then again if you're creative you might be able to get something together that works using the Plano shelves. I just completed this rack using the shelves from Lowes...if you can find those it's a breeze to build this. Thanks to everyone for passing this tutorial along!
