Wire shelving for storage-bin support

I have numerous plastic storage bins that were designed to hang on a wall-mounted rail. Much to my surprise, each rail cost about $7 and would only hold three bins. Fortunately, I found an economical solution when I discovered the bins would hang securely on metal wire shelving.

I mounted the shelving vertically to furring strips with fender washers. A single piece of wire shelving securely holds dozens of bins of various sizes and offers much more flexibility than individual rails.
