How to Build Garage Shelving - Easy, Cheap and Fast!

in this video I'm going to show you the cheapest fastest and easiest way to build garage shelving just start out by marking the studs in your wall then you'll screw a 2x4 the length of your shelving at a desired shelving height to the stud to the wall use a level to make sure that this board is screwed on level then just attach additional two by fours to the wall through studs in the wall at desired shelving Heights consider the height of things that you'll store on the shelving as you're placing these boards on the wall we're using three inch screws to screw into the studs in the wall okay now for the fun part you'll take additional two by four is the length of your shelving and you'll screw those to the first set of two by fours leave the screws protruding out a little bit because we'll be removing these screws later on repeat this step for all of the shelving just two screws are all that you'll need to hold these boards on okay now for the legs cut two by fours to the height of your shelving then screw those two by four legs to the second set of two by fours that you attach the wall we're using two and a half inch screws here you'll want to place a leg on the ends and then if you have long spans maybe place a third or fourth leg in the center for additional support you'll want to screw these legs pretty good to that second set of two-by-fours okay now the fun part will remove those screws that attach the second set of two by fours to the first set and look at that we have a perfectly matched second leg for the shelving so easy and simple then we just use our Kreg jig to attach cleats to the first set of two by fours and then it was a piece of cake to just take that full leg set and attach it to the cleats how easy is that after that we threw the plywood on top of the shelving and then use screws to attach the shelving to the 2x4 framing you won't need a lot of screws and you can certainly use a smaller screw here as you're just holding the shelving boards down and that's it so quick and easy that we actually made three different sets of this shelving in one day thanks for watching and make sure you check out my blog for more detailed instruction lots more project plans
