Since it consists of 100 % [[wood]] fibers, it produces less smoke while lasering and is certified safe to use in [[toys]] and other projects for children (DIN EN 71-3). According to the manufacturer, it can replace aluminum sheet metal (same density) and plastics (same electric isolation) in certain use cases.

At the East end of our Space we have a long corridor that's wide enough to use one half for storage and the other for access.

Each unit will be 1 m³ - from simple floor storage to shelves or even a workbench, members can use their space for pretty much whatever they want! Not as comfortable as lockers, but it depends on what you need to store :-)

Structure

In 2024, we started installing shelf rails every 0.5 m to mark the individual sections and to make it easier to install shelves in your unit.

We used the Regalux Wandschiene E32 rail system; feel free to buy compatible shelf holders e.g. at Bauhaus.
