- I share with you a simple system to build garage storage shelves. To build these shelves, you need some of the tools i have listed below. Further details on how I build these storage shelves in my garage are below.

Overall dimensions of these garage shelves is 18 ft long x 23 inches wide x 7 ft 5 inches tall. Overall cost for these storage shelves roughly $220.00 - $65.00 (sold metal shelves)= $155.00 (cost increased by spax screws, cost decreased by using MDF shelves & 2x3 when able). Depth determined by garage opening. I watched numerous garage storage shelf builds before doing this. When you are planning this out, definitely take into account the "stock" sizes that are sold at your home center. This will help determine where you put vertical supports. In my case, I did an 18 foot long shelving unit because of the "stock" 8 foot and 10 foot 2x4's I could buy at home depot (they also have 12' and maybe even 16' lengths). I used the system that Ana White introduced in her popular video: • How to Build Garage Sh... . I saw a lot of simple, straight builds. I used concept of hers to build a full wall of shelves with different levels to work around a mailbox that protruded into garage and two windows. Feel free to ask any questions in comments. I can't think of a better system out there for your project!
Materials:
(20) 2x4 8 Foot studs
(8) 2x3 8 Foot studs (these were for the smaller upper shelves)
(2) 2x4 10 Foot Studs
(4) 4'x8' 5/8" MDF sheets
(2) 100 pack 3" SPAX screws (Didn't use all)
(1) 100 pack 2 1/2" SPAX screws
1-1/4" drywall screws (approx. 30 used)
Cut List:
(4) 36 1/4" 2x3 (over windows) 4x8 MDF: (6) 22.5" 8 feet
(2) 34" 2x3 (2) 24" 8 feet
(2) 39" 2x3 MDF: 24" used for top shelves (extend slightly beyond frame)
(2) 25 1/8" 2x3 22.5" used for lower shelves - Навчання та стиль
Nice work, great video. Get the Kreg pocket hole jig that clamps to your work bench, it'll save a tone of time!! I basically did the same thing but added doors and paint.
Great idea building the face frame on the wall. Definitely going to use this.
On a sloping garage floor makes it so easy to level. Good luck!
Thanks for sharing this project. It's a big help to get started on a project in my garage. 👍 It looks great.
Made a huge difference for us!!
Thanks so much for your sharing expertise , and help. I got hooked on your videos, when I saw you show how to adjust shower glass door (and hinge). I knew that I would break the glass, but with your help, no problem. Thanks again.
P.S. I’m 56 y/o, & this is the first time that I’ve ever written a comment. Thanks again. You rock.
Oh wow...thank you for the complement! With youtube, and of course some editing on my end, anything is possible! Thank you for watching and good luck on all of your DO-IT-YOURSELF projects!
Nice work Q! Lovin that workbench.
Stby for video.lol. Hope you and the boys at guard are doing well.
Dude looks so good! Now I just need a garage!
Haha...thanks for watching and being my first view!
wow that makes perfect sense to build vertical frame outline. my garage too slopes away from the home and its created a headache for me on another project
Yup, works like a charm. No math required on slope!lol
Great job it really looks good...thanks for sharing your video with us..keep up the good work oh that pocket drill tool is a charm
Thank you! Can’t remember how much this lumber cost for the project...thank god i did it last year
Would love to see the finish and both cars in the garage!
Awesome! I can’t wait to get to it. How2Q has the best info!
Lol...thank you for compliment!
Nice video…very clear
Thx hope it helps w your project
Thanks for your sharing, the pocket hole idea is very smart move!
Hope it helps u!
awesome job man!
Thanks...need to build more!lol
Strong work!!
Haha hope it helps!
Really great, thanks!
Glad it helped!!
Awesome video!
Hey, thank you for checking it out!
Just a tip I got from Finish Carpentry, buy your lumber at a real Lumberyard, it is better quality and less expensive. I also highly recommend the Franklin Stud Finder, it is amazing.
Agree on ur lumberyard suggestion. Hence the need to use right away to avoid warping.
I like this method. I'm trying to get my head around how the frame was based on the level horizontal. I would think when you move the frame away from the wall it would need to be adjusted for the pitch in the garage. Help me out brother. What am I missing?
Great video!!
As long as boards on wall are level. You base your opposite boards on level. Then just attach the vertical two by 4’s which will account for slope. JUST DO IT…lol it will work perfectly
It's funny. I now see how the verticals account for slope 💰💰💰
do you have instructions on how to make the shelves?
Joel...i do not. It is really simple construction with 2x4’s and 2x3’s. Just design it with “stock” lumber in mind....8/1012/16 ft lengths. Makes it easier. Also, whenever a horizontal piece ends make sure you have a vertical piece to support it. If you pause my video when i animate wood i used it might help.
Why not build the shelf independant from the wall so u don't mess with the walls and can move it around or even sell it if u no longer want it ?
Good question...if this were a smaller unit i would probably do that. The size of mine would make it impossible to move (i could do individual units and put them together). This is our “forever” house and knew we would always need the storage. Every household has its own reasons.
@@how2q Thanks for answering. U earned a sub. Not fully convinced with the answer for my own understanding of what's best. But I can see your point. Doing it in 2 or 3 parts would help to move it. Good point.
Even though saw 1 single man in youtube moving a large barn and lift a 20 ton stone with no tool other that pieces of wood and stones. ( - :
Haha i am not that guy! Or i would definitely video it!
@@how2q ua-cam.com/video/E5pZ7uR6v8c/v-deo.html
Done already. You can lift a 30 ton stone and beat his record. Lol
Def will watch...thx
Should of attached them little timbers befor you fixed them to the wall 👌
You are right...could have done that...appreciate the input!
@@how2q just the way a done them in mine found them stronger some 4 inch screws right throu
I didnt see the 4 inchers at hardware store...thx again!!
ballsy cutting with the circ saw like that, specially how the cord was hanging.
Admittedly not best practice.
