Basement Shelving Wall Prep?
So we just moved in to a new build house (exhausting!) and would like to add shelving to the basement walls for storage.
The basement is studded (2x4 wood) with floor to ceiling batted insulation with vapour barrier.
I was just going to use large "L" brackets screwed through the barrier into the studs and then place shelving boards (plywood or whatever) on them.
Should I put drywall up first? I don't care if it looks aesthetically nice or not. Does it matter if the screws puncture the barrier? Not really looking to put in stand alone shelves though.
I'm probably making this much more complicated than it needs to be. Thoughts?
Thanks.
