What is claimed is: 1. A method of constructing a very high load capacity yet lightweight shelf for use in a refrigerated merchandiser, comprising: providing a pair of elongated foam elements, each having a pair of opposed first sides and a pair of opposed second sides; attaching a C-shaped channel to each first side to define a pair of core components; orienting the core components such that the core components abut along first sides thereof; covering the abutting core components with a length of corrugated cardboard having opposed ends such that one of the opposed ends overlaps the other; and connecting the opposed ends of the length of corrugated cardboard to the core components such that the second sides are uncovered. 2. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein a turbulence generating element is formed by the overlapping opposed ends of the corrugated cardboard. 3. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the step of covering the core components further includes using threaded fasteners.
