Shelves into sloping alcove...
Discussion
Got this alcove sort of area in the wardrobe that was built as part of our loft conversion, I want to stick a couple of shelves in it to divide up the space. The picture below gives the sort of idea.
It's fairly deep, 90 cm in fact, so I'd envisage the shelves being supported on both sides and possibly along the back/front. Planning to use MDF (12mm?) which I'll paint to match the rest of it. On the flat side it's easy enough, just a batten running along the depth of the alcove. Just wondering if there was an easy solution for the sloping side. If I were to do some sort of batten then I think it would need some sort of triangular shaped piece fixed along the depth to which I could then screw a rectangular batten. Problem is I don't own a table saw so cutting an angle on a 90cm long bit of timber might not be so easy. I do have a couple of circular saws (small and large) that can cut on an angle but I'm not sure how feasible it would be to use those? Any simpler solutions and/or am I missing the obvious?
Thanks.
