Do I make a major mistake on my garage shelves?
I built garage shelves using Grip Rite construction screws (photo of box below). Only afterwards did I notice the statement about "non-structural" use.
Did I make a major mistake? Should I get some stronger screws to attach the beams to the posts?
FWIW, I also used wood glue (Titlebond II) to attach the shelves to the posts.

I think generally, shelves are non-structural. Structural use is building a house.
Although I bet those 2 could use your good-looking shelves as a sweet fort structure! That doesn't count.
My idea: let those 2 paint the shelves. They go to the paint store and each one picks his / her color. The boy gets the vertical pieces. Then when those dry, the girl gets the big flat areas. You can turn it sideways for her turn. Whenever they see those shelves as they grow up, they will be the shelves they painted.

"Structural" applies to load-bearing walls and the like. I think you're safe. From what i can tell in the picture, unless you're storing engine blocks on them, you should be fine.
