Always SALVAGING things comes with it's own CHALLENGES! We'll be addressing a couple of those today: Storage and Security!
The plan is to add a wall out back behind the cave using pallet racking and sheet metal... This will add some privacy as well as some places to store things out back! We also got around to installing a few gates to improve the security of the back lot.
As always, I hope you enjoy the video, and I look forward to hearing from you in the comments!
Thanks for Watching!

Locks are for keeping the honest people out, good luck
Tip : mix besides the rebar also a lot of pebbles in those concrete holes. Cost you less cement and makes the blocks a lot sturdier and stronger.
I saw a video where someone actually tested the material properties of wet vs dry concrete, and the dry method does result in a much crumblier concrete. It's certainly good enough, but it isn't as durable as wet pour concrete.
I agree, however for his purposes I guess it will be fine, It’s his gate.
I advise you add bolts to the cross beams. To lock them in place . We have them pop out when loading and unloading .
I just mix the concrete in the hole it does not have to be perfectly mixed. Never dry thoutht.
That where house shelving needs to be anchored down some how where I used to work they used that same shelving in are where house forklift driver caught the corner Barley brought that hole shelving unit down parts steel bronze tubing down luckily forklift driver wasn’t hurt but they anchored tied the shelving down
I would build either a lean to or get a 40' connex container and build a roof over the shelves. That way, you also have an extra storage area.
Man, you and your brothers are some hard-working dudes!
Just a thought......where you put the pipes in the ground where your two gates meet when closed, could dig a 2ft x 2ft (whatever the dimensions would be mine was just an example) square or rectangle size hole around them and pour cement around them. This would help protect them and maybe keep dirt from filling them in. Just a thought....
Love the idea of using the pallet rack as a fence too. That was a great idea!
For that gap in the gate, I suggest welding either a steel or aluminum plate on either gate end (say 1/2 or 2/3rds) of the gate end heights.
When the gate is closed the plates will over lap each other say 4 or 5 inches. This will close the gap and should provide self support in the middle from the wind and free swinging. What ever way you chose is of course up to you. BTW it is all ways good to see a new episode of Salvage Workshop... 😉
That gap gave me Forrest Whitaker eye. 😂
Be advised that, when you get snow and ice, the pipe in the ground can possibly have flood water fill the pipe and freeze the gate stops in place. Which may pose a problem raising them to opening the gate in the winter. Chaining the two gates together and a lock way be your resolution. Good job.
To the people who have never dry set concrete. You don't have to like it. It's not your shop, your effort, your money, your time. It works for him. Thank him for sharing and unless he requests information, keep your negative comments to yourself. If you have nothing good to say, then don't say it.
Finally someone knows how to place an anchor. Another shortcut, switch the hammer drill to hammer only and use that to drive the anchor. The anchor won't do any damage to the bit, those things are only "sharp" in the package.
*Matt 🙂 Your brothers are such hard workers just like you 🙂 Cover the top of them shelves to stop people attempting to climb over to take stuff off the top shelf 🙂 Attach & weld plates down the side of one fence so that the other fence won't swing past it when open, which will also stop skinny people getting thru from stealing. (Think of a kitchen cupboard doors that has a gap) 🙂 Maybe also get a container and add in shelves... put in side doors as well as having the door at the end... to keep things like tyres or other big perishable items that don't like the sun or the snow.🙂.*
Hi My Dear Friend Very Good Job ❤❤❤❤❤
Weld overlapping steel plates, maybe 5 inches in width to each side of the gate gap - one on the front of one post and on the back of the other, and then fashion a lock for the middle. Should be easy to do.
Railroad Ties. For base. Re-coatable and movable as a base. Used to be cheap. Stacked tires should be under cover. Mosquito control. In order to secure you have to close all sides equally. You're just getting started.
use stillages (commonly used for tyres) for storage outside. Will hold some heavy stuff, can be stacked and can all be moved with a fork.
A manual post pounder works better than a sledge. Make one easy enough. ❤❤❤
I really love your get-it-done attitude!
Funny to see that these racks are quite similar all over the world...I works beside them all day, stacking pallets in and out of them...
Thx for the vid!
👍👍👍
Nice job Nice yard congratulations you show 😃👏👏👏👍👍👍👍😍
I love your videos and I know it takes time to make them but I sure wish you would make more.
Thanks for the video sir, nice job of setting up the yard, not only does it look nice, but also will be well organized and functional when completed. Say hello to your brothers and I pray all is well with the family.
Looking good Keep up the cool vid's .
I've thought that if I were in a position to have a fork truck I'd palletize stuff for storage. However, I'd make custom pallets, some with cubby holes like shoe storage. Some with big drawers. 1x1 square tube mostly. Depends on what you have that can go outside. Make fixtures on the pallet to hold whatever and don't need securing for the trip up and down off the pallet rack.
Looking forward to seeing more work on the yard and on some of the Equipment you've got👍👌.

Nice improvement to the back of the shop.
damn done the same thing changing the design midway through and half to adjust plans, but looks like it will work excellent. Great job and having the boys jumping in well taught for Americas future
Those pallet racks are nice!! And not cheap.
I got one set for free.
Love it!!
Awesome to see your brothers helping out!
Brilliant video and great job as always Matt. I feel that you need some form of cover over the area where you are storing any tires. Plus keeps the rain off, stopping pools of water forming in the tires for the mosquitoes to possibly breed in.
Already looking forward to your next video.
Great job on the racks and gates. Steel skids out of some of the pie and angles you have already have will make it easier to put stuff on the pallet racks
We cut various bays into cheapish B-grade or well-traveled Conex boxes and welded shelving or racks. Lots of oilfield pipe comes back for salvage in DFW but any old piping would work. You can throw an engine, palletized parts, or pretty much anything you want to keep somewhat out of the elements. A lot of ugly shot with inexpensive metal paint from a Chinesium airless sprayer make them look almost amazing.
Metal lean to's work well whether just on the ground or three sided with racks as the support. Keeps most of the weather off and yet looks finished from the outside.
Using old grocery bags and painter’s canvas tarp take the bags and fuse them together like in the UA-cam video (Brothers Make: Finally, a plastic bag good for the planet) or using aluminum make a cover for the tires stored outside to keep water out of them preventing a mosquito farm inside or you can just use regular plastic tarp cover by painter tarp tied down replace painters tarp every year I pay $12 at Lowe’s. Plastic keeps water out and canvas keeps sun off the plastic and tires, preventing the tires and plastic from breaking down very fast from sun and excess heat
After humans.. that fence post will be here.😂. Another great video.
Someday someone is gonna be riding the struggle bus trying to removed that damned gate post!
Simplicity riding mower orange.
Those gates will be great if you put tin on it like you did with shelving and the tin will close the gap that’s what I did.
Pallet raking I find best outside I normally put a 4x2 then sheeting so pallets can still go and then at top just have top covered with tin.
I have used steel water pipe made into shelving to store tyres but I still put a little roof on.
Cheers I enjoy you Chanel from 1 man to another who keeps everything
This is basically the same thing I would do thank you for sharing this enjoyable video with us six stars brother
Awesome video! Was that your boys there helping you? I always look forward to what you are doing next. The icing on the cake was seeing one of your pups. I remember when you had all 6 of them on a walk in the woods. Thank you for sharing 😊
Looks great
Thank you for sharing, always a pleasure watch your project , i learn a lot 👍👍👍👍
Good job!
Good to see ya Matt.
Nice work 👍🏻👍🏻
Just my .02¢ worth but I’d find some kind of cheap metal to cover the top of the rack to keep some of the rain off. I’m speaking from experience.
Enjoyed the video, glad you’re back!
Looks like a great setup
Nice job looks great love it
Nice to see you a gain
Loved seeing that sweet hound, Mazie.
Good Stuff
The dry concrete method might be fine for household fences, but in a situation where some real strength is needed this is not gonna work. The cement in concrete requires water as part of the chemical process by which it cures. It’s not just hardening. Once a bit of water is present it will begin curing. There is no such thing as curing gradually. It’s a chemical process that occurs best in a surfeit of water and it needs a lot! If there’s not enough water available for the reaction the result will be crumbly, with little strength.
I do love those quick bolt anchors
Great use of pallet rack.
Man it's great to see ya again awesome videos as always.
They have heavy duty pallet racking that fits just the bill for what you are working with out there. I believe the uprights are made from 5inch channel iron with 2 inch legs, 1/4" thickness but there are many sizes more than that. I have a friend that is in the business of selling it here in Va. You may be able to pick some up used in your area. I do believe that they have some that can hold several tons per shelf (15,000-30,000lbs). Put your stuff on pallets and stick them up there or get the grating that spans it and you can do smaller materials. Putting up a second fence bordering that side road may be the perfect thing to back it for you, like your first fence.
Definitely should put water in with the concrete. Dry concrete doesn't bond anywhere near as well or as strong. You might as well put in road base, as that is cheaper if you don't want the strength of cured concrete.
Nope I built pole buildings for years. I never used wet crete.
The dry stuff hardens from the outside in. Locks stuff in place better. Cures fine
@@robertspray7472 Yup ..First time there's a good rain , that will all get soaked and cure just like poured concrete . No messy time consuming mixing needed.
I seen someone build a huge retaining wall by just stacking concrete bags. It looked funny but 15 years later I still see it every time I drive by that house in the country
@@dillon2753
i know.. isn't that crazy !? I've seen them all over.
He is using concrete blocks
Good work!
I think with that much concrete it doesnt need to be perfect. It is overbuildt anyways!
Love your videos it would be nice to see more videos
People in my area use old apple bins to store stuff outside, one bonus is that they are stackable.
great video
Don't tell.... Show!!
Another great update from ya cave workshop bro. Safe travels. Ken.
Awesome hand work 23:43 👌
Well done👍the cold and the temperature over there were you live bloody Hell living in that cold environment is a achievement in itself amazing, well I suppose there are places that sell good arctic clothing💤good luck mate.
It’s not too bad…the igloos are well insulated with snow.
Another good video. I like to set the things i use most where they are easy to get to same with autos and equipment. Some times it works but not always. Good luck
Matt, I was kinda wondering when you first started putting up your pallet racks if you were not a little close to your soffit on that end. The reason I was, was wouldn't it have been a little close to your roof and you couldn't use that whole end. If you did stack stuff up under the roof line there that if your luck is like mine if you went to lift something off the top rack and it was just under your roof that you'd end up damaging your guttering or your roof but when you moved it out for the gate that solved that problem. Man you do some awesome work and I love watching your channel. I've subscribed to your channel since you started it. I'll always be here waiting for your new ones. This one was shorted than your normal ones. Believe me I do not mind the long ones like some people do but not me. The longer the better because I'm amazed by how good of a job you do. Thanks for the awesome videos you put out.
Hey Matt, if the racking is outside in the weather wouldn’t it be better to have a fall in the level so rain water could drain, just a thought
You need a post hole digger, that was a lot of bags of postcrete
Why not use the side of the hill & make storage? Put some uprights along the front of the hill at ground level, then make shelves going back to the hill, small at bottom & getting deeper as you go up?? Like a sort of V shape maybe 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Nice 😎😎😎👍👍👍
Your outside shelves should have had a bit of a tilt to help drain off water. So it doesn't puddle up on the flat surfaces
There are skids/ pallets that have sides that are removeable ... it helps to keep small items on the pallet ... and you can also put a lid on them
you should paint a set of tires on the siding and make it look like a semi-trailer nice job
my oppinion, the outside better thing a shipping container, maybe 2, with a covered area between.
Great job, you could use scaffold tube for your outside shelving
Like your videos. Each one gives me ideas. Thanks. Maybe you have seen the large composite pallets with sides. Looks a little like the 'old' style milk crate about 18" on each side .
I’m no welding expert but aren’t you supposed to be using a filtered mask when welding galvanized steel? I thought it became toxic when welding.
Inside yea you want to buy outside not so much unless no wind and a lot of it
Zinc in the galvanising turns to zinc oxide which gives you pneumonia like symptoms but out in the open it doesn't matter so much as the breeze blows the white harmful oxide away, it hangs in the air like floating cobwebs in a confined space or un ventilated room.
Just hold your breath .. be a man
I’ve had galvanized poisoning (MFF) before when I was welding galvanized floor deck on an indoor mezzanine. It makes you feel like you have the flu, definitely need a respirator or good ventilation.
When i was(much) you ger, we were told to drink a glass of whole milk right after we finished welding or cutting galvanized. Never got sick. Don't know if it worked, or I got lucky.
Safety Orange is a pretty common color. We used a lot of it at work for guarding.

Tracks and tyres would be able to be stored outside, but just make sure the tyres have some shade. I've been caught out by gate hinges many a time, personally I think they have a mind of there own though. Nice to see you back Matt.👍
ok am i mising something normaly you mix concrete and put the foundation wire in before concrete to fix it to the post then add we concrete we also cap the post at both ends so no water can get in to rust the post
It's called out of sight out of mind
Love watching you do projects. If you would do a better job of preplanning many hours would be saved and better results also.
Maybe make a tin roof over the rack ? Protect a bit more.
Those gate posts would support a post lift, talk about overkill, the smaller bits of pipe is worse than nothing as the concrete will not stick to them unlike rebar that's what the ridges on rebar are for to lock them in place. I would have put in a short piece of pipe in the middle of the 2 gates to act as a sleeve for a centre support pipe either inside or outside. All that machinery and you hammer the posts in by hand 😂
Careful welding that galvanized. They say it can cause deadly fumes- though I don't know anyone who has died from it.
If I heard you right, you use dry concrete around your posts because you didn’t want to spend the time to mix it with water. Then you will wait to put the gates on until you get enough rain and moisture from the soil to set the posts. That could take a much longer time then if you had just mixed the concrete in the first.
He's one of those that knows better than the people who created it.
looks like both Amazon and Home Depot have Rust-Oleum 263149 Satin Fire Orange
22:53 that was close!
Chain some pipe plugs to the gate to keep mud and rocks out when the gates are open,
.
A wall.👍
your going to have use your dozer take out those poles!
looks like the gate is zombie proof 🤣
Matt. I always see you working of a night. What do you do for a day job. Thanks, Geoff from Australia.
How about using shrink wrap on some of the stuff your going to store outside
I may have missed something after watching all of your videos but how did you come to own the Cave? Wasn't it a joint ownership or something back in the beginning? I know you have the other shop at your home but having this place is really nice. Maybe a bit of an explanation would help me to understand. Thanks for all the entertaining videos. I've watched every one of them and enjoyed them all.
How about something to slide into one of those holes, some kind of sliding latch? For your privacy fence entranceway
those little pavers under the racks are gonna sink man
He learn when it topple over. And quickly too!
if they do he,ll just lift and reset them - no probs
@@Edward-turtle he used 500 lbs of concrete for the gate post but a little rock for shelves. stupid
@@stereolababy that little rock can hold thousands of pounds, tough guy.
@@XxPhasemanxX try and read- didn't say it wouldn't hold - its going to sink in the mud. not enough surface area
Looks great, sorry someone is unappreciative of your efforts... it probably will never tip - especially weighted, but have you thought about auger anchors at the corner for a mobile home/shed to make sure it does not eveer start the tip?
Goof stuff!
Looks good to me just be careful not to catch your beard on fire, I still remember your incident with the eyebrows lol.
