[b][CAMBERLEY, 01/05/2018][/b] Woodworkers encounter a variety of design challenges when it comes to shelf construction. One of the most common issues is shelf sagging or deflection, which is the result of various factors such as the material used in the construction, its dimensions and its load capacity.

[b]Preventing Shelf Sag with the Sagulator[/b]

Shelving Shop Group, an expert in industrial and commercial shelving in New Zealand, presents the Sagulator or Sag Calculator. Created by WoodBin Woodworking, the Sagulator is an online calculator that helps woodworkers determine the potential deflection in their shelf by entering the type of material, the dimensions and the expected load to be put on the shelf. The Sagulator's formula is based on beam deflection calculations published in engineering handbooks.

If the result of the calculator is more than 1.7 millimetres per meter, the shelf will sag and changes must be made to prevent it, whether by choosing a stronger type of wood, making the shelf thicker or other adjustments. According to WoodBin Woodworking, the results should be viewed as a guide to shelf construction rather than definite calculations.
