I have a Keter Store-It-Out NOVA, it is described as having a built-in support for a shelf. measurements indicate the shelf would need to be 124cm by 25cm. I did think Keter may sell shelves but I can't find any, I just want to check I'm not missing something before I order something that size.

Does anyone have a Keter box with a shelf fitted?

    It is optional to purchase a wooden plank and use it as a shelf.

    Hi, Same here. Was surprised to see that Keter don't make the shelves and none are available on ebay (business opportunity for somebody?)

    The confirmed measurements are   250 x 1250 correct (25cm x 125cm) wide

    Their own advertising clearly shows a timber shelf fitted.

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    I have something similar (not Keter though) and made up my own shelf from sawn treated timber. It can get a bit damp in there - and sometimes I want to put things like hiking boots and cycle helmets away that aren't completely dry - so treated timber seemed best.

    I didn't find it that easy to find a solid 250mm wide pressure treated plank around here (at least, I couldn't see it online and I couldn't be bothered driving around places looking). I just used a few smaller strips I had leftover from another project, screwed to crosspieces at a few places along the length. This worked out well enough for me, and had the advantage of leaving gaps for air to circulate - again, useful if you sometimes put things away that aren't bone dry.
