 The layouts I have built in recent years all had to be movable, light weight constructions were a must. This excluded 1 x 4, let alone 2 x 4 lumber for the framing. I use 1/2" by 4" grade a plywood in a typical open grid fashion and 18" spacing. All the "lumber" I get at our local home improvement store, cut to size on a CNC diamond saw with less than 1/50 of an inch tolerance.For shelf layouts this has proven to be practical.
