Building 36 identical shelving brackets wasn't particularly interesting I must say. Thankfully I had the foresight to set up jigs for cutting and assembling the pieces.

Pats on the back to whoever knows what these poles are for.

I forgot to take pictures of how I attached the top ends of the vertical studs to the wall. I didn't want to drill holes into the container, so I used the existing tie-down points. I bent some threaded rod into a U-shape, slipped it through the tie-down loop, and tightened the 2x4 to it with washers and wing nuts.
