Reply to comment by csth in Request for feedback on my shelf design by csth

Rip some strips from the edges of your plywood for the cleats. Make them, I dunno, 2" tall and screw the strips to the studs. Shouldn't use pressure treated indoors.

What is a better option for the wood choice?

3/4" ply of any kind should be just fine. The more dense the better. You just don't need pressure treated, which is treated against moisture and the outside environs.

Thanks for the advice! Should I run the cleats on 3 sides or just 2 sides of the shelf?
