It would only be accessed from one side.

I think battens would be fine as the shelves as it will only be for
boxes.

Haven't identified a suitable box yet to know if it could be easily
mounted on runners.

As i said, it will be several weeks before we actually built it, at the
next hack the space day as its too disruptive to do on a monday. but it
would be nice to have a plan and all the materials ready for then.
