kiln shelf shelves

Hi!
My next question.... I don't have a kiln shelf shelving unit yet. The
one I have seen that is being sold everywhere is the same size, height
for shelves up to 20" etc. My kiln shelves are 11.5X23.25 inches... and
I was hoping to copy the idea and make my own shelving unit. Is it
better to make it out of wood or pipe? I know I would want to make the
spaces at least 1.5 inches, seeing as how the shelves are 3/4 in thick.
But is 2in between each spacer better? or overkill? Should I make the
height of the shelving unit come up to 24 inches? and out 12? or out 14?
I searched for plans in the archives, but did not find anything on
shelving units.
Please advise.... Thank you...
