Definitely! We constantly had problems with packing too much stuff on our shelves and they would fall down. This happened four times in two years. We got so sick of it we didn't know what to do. My father-in-law recommended the pipes and we used 2X8X10 boards for shelves. We could put a tank up there now and never have a problem!

The only drawback is that galvanized pipe is very ugly and painting won't help much. Maybe you could put some sort of rubber insulation around it and paint that? LOL
