Drywall screws are commonly used by DIY'ers in non-drywall applications. They have adequate holding strength, but as you observed, they are known to be notoriously brittle -- and weak in shear. In most cases, they are adequate, even if not the best choice -- and they are relatively cheap.
Those screws you put in last at Angles cause they were a bit too long. You asked for things others would have done differently. I first thought you were putting them in Straight. So when you said that you weren’t I Immediately thought why didn’t you just put them in Straight then Cut the Portion sticking out with the Angle Grinder. Theirs a Guy from The U.K. That’s An Angle Grinder “God” Ian Mathew’s is His Channel Name. He’s a Scraper, Tinkerer, does Similar stuff Breaking down Electronic Elements.

I am not too sure. The buyer setup the shipping with DHL-WorldWide or what ever it is called. The came and got it ... and that was the last I heard about it. It held up in the moving ... and the buyer did not say things were broken or undone. If there is a regulation or specification, I am not aware of it. And maybe that is a little bit of an oversight. If I were to do this regularly as part of a business, maybe I would get told off by someone somewhere. Maybe you can respond with what your experience is with this topic... I don't really look forward to shipping hundreds of pounds to another country ... but if I am doing something that is not encouraged, or even not in compliance with a code somewhere, it would be nice to know.
Good question. I did not test that. If the freight company moving it stacked things on top, it did not break through. I fear it would not hold a stack, but it should hold 200 to 400lbs easy. I would be curious to see if it could hold 1000. The freight it carried was several hundred pounds. So the walls held up to lateral forces up to a few hundred pounds. To answer directly, I don’t know. Sorry

Very true.

This video helped me a lot. Thank you.
Hey! Nice! I am so glad :)
How did you get away with using regular wood for your skids and corner bracing on an international shipment?

SteveSmith, Interesting that you raise that issue. What are the relevant regs and requirements on the issue?
How much weight do you think that could bear when stacking something on it?
