Good comments so far.  I didn't see this one though:

It's admittedly far from ideal in some ways, but a great way to deal
with this sort of situation can be to get a pair of two-post open
frame relay racks; most of them bolt together and can be put just
about anywhere.  Many times we forget that these can be used as the
front and back of a single rack.  Remember to tie them together if
you go that route, attachment to a wall or up top highly recommended
as well.

I was about to suggest that. Chatsworth actually makes hardware just for this.

We have a number of these which we've used to convert left over 2-post relay racks into sturdy 4-post racks.
