Yup, we glued the guttering onto our metal shed a couple of years ago, but of course it wouldn't be carrying the same weight as shelves.

Use a rivet gun and rivets? You can buy this sort of thing at stores like B&Q, or Screwfix.

Fasten brackets to the corner supports with a centre support from the roof bars.

As TEL say's, make a free standing shelf unit. DON'T drill the structure as this will then start it rusting and your 10 or 12 year guarantee will be invalidated.

Buy some cheap bookcases from 2nd hand shops or crboot sales. Or try freecycle. I agree with all previous comments on the NO DRILLING! Don't do it :o :o :o

Build a frame inside from wood.

I'm getting one soon but for a different reason. Great to modify into an observatory for my telescope.
