Garage Storage Shelves | EASY BUILD
Vložit
- čas přidán 15. 08. 2024
- Today I show you how to build your own garage shelving unit built out of 2x4s and plywood (or OSB). This project is an easy and fun way to add tons of storage space to your garage, shop or utility room for very little money. This setup worked out great, and now I have plenty of room for my 2 cars, bikes, Christmas decorations, and other deep storage!
UPDATE: Check out an updated video where I build similar shelves, but they have a higher weight capacity: • Storage Shelves for Yo...
NOTE ON STRUCTURAL SCREWS: In response several commenters who said I shouldn't use them I'd encourage you to read about them here: www.grkfastene... They have a stronger shear strength than nails and are equivalent to a traditional 1/2" lag screw. I also use them in this project video: • How To Organize A Shed...
Products I used in this video (paid links):

Going on 4 years and these shelves are still as new... but if you need something EVEN STRONGER check out my last shelving build! czcams.com/video/O3bhCAe-BSw/video.html
4 inch screws are too long because they risk hitting electrical or water lines running through the studs. Code typically requires electrical lines be run halfway into a stud which would 1.5 inches. Here, you are drilling through 1.5 inches of 2x4 material, and 1/2 inch of drywall and then your 4 inch screw is going another 2 inches into the wall studs. If you know there is not any electrical or water behind that wall, you should be fine, but most homeowners are not going to know or even have a reliable way to know for sure.
In this case, You should use screws 3 inches long, giving you 1 inch into the wall stud. 1 inch is plenty and will be provide a very strong hold.
Good points. I did check with a stud finder (that also detects wiring) where the wire was run… straight down from the attic. But I should’ve mentioned that in the video.
definitely one of the most important tips & shld be pinned to the top thanks!
Spot on...and most electrical meters and main e-boxes run on the back side of the garage.
I am not a woodworker but an enthusiast. Me and my brother build similar garage shelves by ourselves. We were done in couple of hours. Very sturdy. I appreciate your videos.
Second best thing about this video is the shelf itself . First best are your beautiful daughters . Blessed !
Totally agree.
Thanks so much for posting this DIY guide. My wife and I completed about 20 feet of garage shelving based on your guide. They turned out really great. The foundation screws you recommended were awesome and I finally had a reason to buy the Kreg K4. The only modification I made to our shelving is that I put vertical supports behind the main vertical supports between the shelving and carried it all the way to the floor. I’ll likely be storing heavier items and was concerned about too much weight bearing on the screws. Probably overkill but it can be fun overbuilding sometimes! Thanks so much for the video and props on doing this by yourself!
Great Idea about using the scrap 2x4's as a helper! Thanks for showing that!
Thanks for the walk through, I just made a set of bunk beds loosely off the shelf design for my octuplets.
This was the perfect solution for my own garage. Made myself some shelves this weekend. Super easy to follow, thank you for making this tutorial!
I just did the same shelves in my garage, but I didn't do a bottom shelf. I just put stuff on the floor under the shelves. 10ft of shelving is great!
Very space efficient!
I would put a piece of trim along the bottom edge that goes down to the concrete. This will hopefully stop trash/sawdust and rodents from getting under your shelves.
I love how excited you are about having more storage space. I'm the same way.
Jeremy Wheeler not a bad idea. Maybe something metal... I thought about that and ended up deciding not too in case the floor got wet during winter.
@@JasonExplainsThings I used leftover steel siding to stop things from getting under my workbench. Thanks for the video.
here a 2nd time to remind myself. building another shelf today. Thanks so much!
Found this video while searching for a way to do shelves in my garage. This is awesome and so easy and WILL be how I build mine this week. Thanks!
well..kids are very happy and so does dad...great work man. I wish I knew how to do this stuff!!!
Just made these in my garage
Pre cut 2x4x2
Pre cut 2x4x8
And OSB was 4x8, had them cut into 26.75x4
Thanks!
Thank you! You explained well and made it seem do-able. Love that you featured your girls that gave a real family feel to the video. Loved your choice in music but maybe a tad too loud-did not stop me from subscribing. So many of the "how too" videos are set in what appears to be shops with multi-thousands of dollars worth of fancy tools and workbenches. Keep up the great work.
Bro best video of making shelves ❤
Building the frame on the ground, drive the screw straight in on front and back side, no need to toe nail anything, also much easier to make it square.
Yea he made it more difficult than it needed to be
thanks. I did not want to buy a $100 pc of plastic to build smaller like $40 shelves.
That's exactly what I was thinking when watching thia great video. Really nice idea and we'll produce
Yeah, a 4” slope is a bit extreme. Mine is only a 1” slope. But, my previous house was 3”. Great build. Thanks for sharing.
Just wanted to say thanks for a really easy to follow video. Followed it pretty much to the letter (though I took a couple of days at it, being a noob) and the result was great. Really strong and stable shelves and has really sorted out our garage. Our kids loved climbing on it too when it was finished. Thanks again!
This is by far the best video I've seen that explains how to build storage shelves and solves all the issues of doing it by yourself. I see people in other videos make the job more difficult. I can wait to do this in my own garage!
Thanks Gardner!
Yep, this is basically the way I’m gonna do mine.
Great job. Very motivational. I always wanted to build a garage shelf but l don't know where to start. Here we go your video is an opener. Now l am contemplating to do things in my own. Thanks.
Love that you featured your girls that gave a real family feel to the video.
Wood that comes in contact needs to be pressure treated with a preservative/redwood/something that can deal with constant moisture. The seams between the OSB should be supported as well.
From some experience of building these before, I liked to leave space between the corner and the shelves to store tall skinny things like spare wood or rakes or skiis or….
I just built your shelves today in my garage. First time doing it, and while some cuts were questionable, they're very sturdy and I thank you for this video!
Awesome! Nice job.
Could you tell me how many 2x4s to buy?
So much room for activities!
Caible love this so much!!!! 🤣 they can do karate now!!!!
Hahaha step Brothers
Caible
DALE!
NO POWER TOOLS DALE!!
It's my tooth brush!!!
No it's not!
I'm almost done!
Haha I was gonna say that.
@@yopappy6599 lol
Cool build and found out about Roy Young. Great song - Thanks!
I might have to redo some shelves in my garage. Definitely going to come back to this vid in the future! Like button SMASHED.
Instead of saying it is cheap how about an actual what it cost?
@@craiggraham7746 Yeah, that would be nice to know.. but to guess from the raw material, I'm thinking the total cost is < $50 (Wood/nails only) not including the tools of course. Is that right Jason?
Its made by 2x4's. Not a lot of money. If you're super curious about the price go to home depot or rona, lowes. calculated 90 2x4s. It'll cost you about 1,500$ to make this.
@@craiggraham7746 It was all under $200. Bought everything at Lowes.
Nicely done Sir! Awesome kiddos😊
At least this video shows that realistically garage floors aren't always level. So many DIY videos out there just assume the garage floor is totally flat and level. So if you had followed any of those guides you would end up totally frustrated that your shelves simply won't work.
Have a look at 7:37 and you can see what I mean. The shelves in this vid are built in a way that can cater for a totally uneven surface.
Not sure about the US, but in Europe you can buy these steel floor to wood connectors that are designed just for this purpose to deal with uneven floor surfaces during your builds.
Love your work. Organized and systematic work.
GOOD JOB! I built garage shelving like this many years ago, but only did 3 hung shelves. Did not do the bottom one because I had large heavy items that would not fit in a 24 inch space. So you would have to tailor it to what you need to store.
Great video, I could watch DIY wood projects all day. Put this one in my back pocket when I have some time. I really liked the simple plans. Glad to see your hacks for doing the project by yourself. Those will be helpful.
Thanks Zach. I love diy videos too. Watched them so much I wanted to start doing my own a little over 2 years ago. Just started another wood working project today!
Jason Explains Things look forward to it!
Excellent video, great detail and commentary. I did subscribe...first thing I've EVER subscribed to on CZcams. Thanks for all this guidance. And yes, as someone else mentioned, your daughters are adorable! You are blessed.
Thanks JD!
Thanks for the video, made things more easy for me.
Overbuilt AF. I love it.
I know, right?! I love the comments about it not being strong enough. 😂
The floor should be repaired. Should check if it doesn't affect the house. Great job dear. You are very talented. A hug from Puerto Rico.
Just finished building these shelves thanks!
Pretty awesome. Just the video I was looking for 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Digging that Dodge. Looks like a very clean older pickup.
Thanks Brett... I've got a bunch of videos about fixing it up on my channel. I actually just did another one that'll be up on Friday.
Hi all, I did a similar storage shelf but not quite as long. I eliminated my center vertical support by doubling up on the outside horizontal pieces. By doing this I created a beam across the front of the shelf and eliminating the need for my center vertical supports, this created more open shelving. Food for thought.
Can you share a picture?
Very well explained and you seem to be hands off no gloves and no help and did everything yourself without any help. 👍🏻
Looks great! Personally I don’t like having a shelf like that bottom one on the ground. Hard to clean, or power wash. I also see it as a place for insects and mice to live.
I agree...I wonder if it’s more for structural support?
Very nice, simple and efficient. I'm planning to do one 8' section of shelves on my garage wall. Not sure why you put the bottom shelf on other than you didn't want your bins sitting on the sloped floor. I'm putting my first shelf about 30" tall so that I can put taller & heavier items on the floor like my compressor.
DUDE....LOVE this video. I JUST did my garage up and guess what? Shelves !!! I was going to order them but NOW I think Ill give this a try. Thanks brother.
Thanks! I like building my own because you can customize everything to your situation. I also have a video about building floating shelving and a work bench for a shed if you’re interested.
Jason Explains Things Absolutely!! Already told my wife and she lives the idea. I have eight kids and #9 on the way so storage is essential!!
@@JasonExplainsThings HEY JASON! I JUST built the shelves in my garage yesterday. Took me all day but I think I did a pretty good job. I would love to send you the finished product and see what you think. Also, since I'm not that handy, it might be a good idea to specify which size screws go where. I was struggling a bit but I figured it out. Thanks again!
Jason, I just completed my shelves using a lot of your ideas, thank you so much for taking the time. The GRK Structural screws were a little intimidating, but they plowed through the studs without a hitch.
Thanks! Yeah I love those structural screws. I still predrilled but apparently you don’t have too. If you watch me shed project I used them again for that.
Hey. Great job! Expect for one detail at the end! You want your supports to line up at the joints between the sheets of plywood. Otherwise you’ll see sagging right there. You can easily add it in after the fact.
Very good point.
Good work on the shelf’s. Nice truck btw👍🏻
Thanks! Lots of videos about it. :-)
Perfecto!!!? Just !!!!
Okey up !!!
This model go in my room
Thank thank TEACHER
SALTA.ARG.
Great instruction and easy to follow.
Thanks for the spacer idea. I'm building shelves very similar in shed. Was having difficulties putting in the second shelf due to doing the project alone.
Been there! It’s tough building stuff by yourself. I’d suggest checking out my other shelf video using strong tie brackets. Much easier to build alone.
Great video man! A lot of great tips.
Thanks for a great video, and for making it about the project only!
I put the sheeting on first then the vertical pieces. Nice job!
Very well done. It's so much nicer looking and more efficient than my crappy big-box steel shelves.
Thanks Curtis! Steel shelves can be nice, but custom building something is more flexible, customizable and cheaper. With my garage floor being not level steel shelves weren't an option anyway.
Not gonna lie, you’re kids have a lot of your qualities! 😄
6:11 oh man. The number of scars I have from doing that same damn thing. Nearly put a Phillips bit through my left thumb once. Thankfully the bone stopped it.
Nice truck (the red and white one). Thumbs up on using construction screws via pocket holes!
Thanks. There’s a bunch of videos about working on it if you’re interested. 👍
Looks good great job your children are beautiful keep up the good work this gave me a great idea for my garage...
Thanks!
Nice shelves, дружище.
love the music
Excellent work, and the music was pretty kool too.
thank you! you inspired me to make this in my garage :)
love it, organization shelfs. thanks for share this video , more ideas please
thank you man. I just did one for garage 👍🏼
Good job buddy. Dig the music choices playa
Smashed it. Good work!
Easy to follow instructions. I gladly saved it to use in my upcoming garage project. Thanks.
Great video and great result
Looks great and pretty easy to do!! thank you!!!!!
BOOKMARKED!! Excellent design Jason...very minimalist, simple basic cuts, but above all looks SHARP! Keeping the vertical legs outside the shelving area ensures that every square inch can be put to use.One question though: I notice you ripped the OSB panel 32" the long way...so only 1 shelf per sheet? If you cut it the short way, you would get an even three 32" (=8') pieces with only sawdust as waste. Downside is 3 seams per shelf...but not a problem if you strategically locate the cross braces under each seam. I WILL be copying your design!
Awesome work papo! They came out amazing.
Nice truck
good jobe barry
Well done that man! Especially for doing it all singlehandedly! Liked and subbed.
Just seen your Garage Storage Shelves video! Great video with awesome explanations, Thank You! I have to mention the drill slip was a close one!
Wow. Love it. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👊🏽
Great video and beautiful shelves, thanks from Brazil.
Can’t wait to do this to my garage. Just need a few more tools to get it done !
I cant wait to do the same...its exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
Really nice build I must say. Looking at the cost of materials and the time It takes to build start to finish. You can go to Costco and buy a heavy duty rack system for about $150 each kit. Two kits would do what this set up did pretty much. Just some options for the ones who can't do the build or spare the time.
Wouldn’t have worked for me because of the slope in the ground. Also the cost was under $300. But those Costco racks are awesome. I’ve put together several over the years.
After watching 15 other videos on the same topic, yours is the best. In fact, because of you I now have painted walls in my garage and lumber waiting to be used. Got the same Kreg
Jig Master ... curious what settings you had it set to. My shelf depth will be around 19 inches and total width at 117 inches. Using same 4in framing screws you used ... expensive, but awesome quality. Probably an overkill for the light weight I plan to use the shelves for. Hope you do more DIY videos. You explain things very well. Inspiring.
Thanks man! I’ve got some older home DIY videos, and I’ll do more for sure... I need to do a bunch of work to my shop.
found this video in the recommended section. Your videos are hitting the main page. Thought you should know. I found you through DIY and how to. I searched for general construction and how to's. Thought this might be useful information as a creator, i would love to know.
Matt Bartone that’s great! Thanks for telling me.
Super nice build! Thank you!
LMBO! You got my attention :D Great bottom er... video! Funny and instructive.
Pocket holes for the stretchers is genius
Great shelves. I did the same in my garage already but am always a sucker for diy vids on garage shelves. Nice t-shirt, too. The Great PNW company has a new fan. I gotta get me some of their stuff. :)
Just great and made it easy. Thanks
This was a very well made video. I can actually build my own shelfs now
Fantastic video, thanks…nicely explained.
well done Jason. that's great..! very simple and so helpful..
Really good job, dude! This is what i had in mind for my basement. Imma do something similar. Thank you bud
Gran trabajo y gran Gti 👌🏻
Thanks for making this video
These old DIY videos keep going and going!
Overall not bad man. I would reccomend breaking the plywood joints over one of the 2"×4" braces though.
Agreed.
EXCELLENT work! Thanks for posting. The only thing I would've done differently, even at the price of loosing some space and/or fluidity on the shelves, would've been to install the vertical support 2'' X 4's behind the horizontal edge.
Much more difficult to add the osb or ply shelf with supports behind front support.
edal61 Totally overkill, unless you’re storing a thousand pounds.
Yes I was thinking the same. Or turning the verticle 2x4's 180 degrees and notching out sections to support each shelf. 2x4s are kind of overkill for this project but lot faster than ripping them down.
Neatly done ✅ nice way to conserve space😀
Thanks! Yeah we're very happy with it going on 4 years later.
Love how ur kids reacted after the shelf was created.
TQ for sharing knowledge. Well done.
Very nice build
