So I guess I was so intrigued by everyone making their own shelf that I felt I had to come up with my own as well. Not sure if this one has been done but I used a stainless shelf like you would find in a kitchen and folding brackets.
It is not too far off from the Recteq I guess. I didn’t want to use wood for one I’m not the best with detail work or have lots of sweet woodworking tools. Two, I just had concerns with heat and wanted the shelf closer to the grill so I’m not too far away when it is extended. And last I did not want to add too much more weight.
The shelf is 36” X 12" and the brackets 12”
Unfortunately, the studs on the shelf for the wall brackets do not line up with the Bull leg bolt where you attach the bracket so had to drill the shelf and fit it with stainless screws.
I chose these brackets specifically to make sure there was room for screws to come through from the top unlike wood where you would come from under. Some brackets I saw have a mechanism underneath where I thought screws protruding could catch although these came out pretty good with little room taken.
It can be operated with one hand so if you have a hand full and no room you can engage it easily.
Seems plenty sturdy enough for my needs. Total cost ~ $70 for shelf & brackets (not including hanger)
