I would defer to others since that would change the project.
The 8 switch is completely filled up and if it was on the 24 it would leave
little room for the future. No mater what there will be an additional 5
port switch that will live there too which is why I figured it was
appropriate to get some kind of rack. I assume it needs shelves because of
the devices that are currently on the beam. Those items cannot stay mounted
on the beam as they currently are.
This is the best value I could find:

Jake if you have an alternative shelf/shelves that you think would work
better for mounting behind the beam on the dark blue mountain portion of
the wall please share it in the next two days. Otherwise I will likely
purchase the device above unless one of the second hand alternatives pans
out.

Hi Valerie,
I haven't looked recently but I don't know if all of those network devices
are rack-mountable. Also it would be possible for us to replace them all
with a single item, my point being there is no need for a "rack", because a
simple shelf would work just as well!

I should also add that it will be mounted close
to a design on the top
mural painted section of the wall behind the beam so I wouldn't want the
rack to interfere with the art if it can be avoided. Nothing bigger
than 12U and 6-9U is probably the sweet spot.
I only saw two on Craigslist that could be considered although they are
pretty far away so not sure that they are worth the drive:
-

<https://sacramento.craigslist.org/sys/d/sacramento-heavy-duty-wall-mount/7866613599.html>
Or on Facebook marketplace if it comes with the racks or cyber power its
a plus:

Hello Sudoroom members
CALLI would like to procure an open network rack for the second floor of
the building in the next week to install and move the switches from the
current location. If you know anyone that is selling a used 6U open rack
cheaper then the one below please let me know ASAP. The rack needs to
support the existing 24 & 8 port switches as well as an additional 5 port
switch that will be installed when the access control is upgraded. Shelves
would be a huge plus. Open to suggestions but the goal is to get this
solidified and ordered by Thursday so that I can arrive in time for install
next week.
Standard price for 6U mounting rack:
