Specifying the type, thickness and grade of material and the spacing between the supports largely depend upon the weight being supported by the shelving. Some comparison between materials and advice if obtained from the supplier or manufacturer of the shelf material helps us to utilize the right type of shelf according to our need.
The different types of loads supported by shelves can be considered as:

* A light load can be considered to be vases, small plants, trinkets etc.
* A medium load can be considered to be a shelf full of average sized paperback books.
* A heavy load can be considers to be large plants and hardcover books, etc.
