Thank you for the excellent walkthrough and sharing your tips. I built a 3 metre by 2.5 metre shelving unit with thick 4x2 CLS timber and 18mm plywood for bombproof storage and everything turned out immaculately thanks to the helpful guidance in your video. You have no idea how much it helped to see things so well explained. Thank you again.
I didn’t need shelving quite as robust as yours so used 44mm x 18mm lengths and am delighted with the result. I am not a DIY guy and not confident, but copying your method exactly turned out perfect. Thank you so much.
Love the way you explain things simply and give clear and easy to follow instructions. I am very impressed with you and will be looking at your other videos. Thanks for getting me motivated !!
As someone who doesn't normally do diy and has found in the past I am a bit dangerous with power tools I still want and desperately need to put shelving in my attic. I am pretty much the only person in the house who can fit up there so this is the most helpful video I have seen yet, as he doesn't waffle or use annoying music
I’ve never seen a video explained so well with such detail. I will absolutely recommend you to my friends! I look forward to watching your videos. From Michigan I say hello mate!
Thank you for the tutorial! I spent most of today building my new shelves on a 100 year old basement floor. Back at it next weekend. My back hurts but its working out beautifully!
This is by far the best explained video on building storage shelves on whole youtoube I came across so far! Literally like a tutorial. Cheers mate and God bless you!
Excellent build! I like the idea of adding addition lumber supports under each shelf frame, the load will be distributed evenly not just depending on the screws for strength.
Hi Richard, really appreciate the kind words. Glad you enjoy the videos. I try my best to explain everything as there is often an assumption by tradesman that everyone knows the basics. My channel is to help complete novices to learn basics and gain the confidence to buy a few tools, have a go, and start with some small tasks. I also do more advanced tutorials for those who progress or for those who already have some DIY skills, so I cover the whole spectrum. In a few years you may be a master craftsman!! However, if I miss anything please feel free to comment and let me know. I know the videos aren't perfect but I do the best I can with my cheap camera and bad memory! Good luck and thanks for watching!
Nice work, thanks. Some suggestion, you know where 2 OSB plywood are meeting in middle of shelf, you should put stud wood as support underside it so that joint in the ply is getting supported half half on that support wood. This way you can load 25 kg cement bag on the joint and joint won't sag downward after some time.
Hi Mohit, that's true. If you use one piece of wood for your shelf you'll have no problems, and to be honest I used the thicker 18mm OSB board which is structural grade so it would hold a 25kg bag anyway as the shelf isn't that deep. I way 65kg and it took me no problem. But you're right, more supports = a stronger shelf. If you use the thinner OSB board then I would have suported it or used one peice for my shelf without the join. You can just tailor my project slightly to suit yours. Thanks for the feedback, good luck and thanks for watching!
Great video! I’m building 4 units with casters and just realized that 2x4’s are $6 at Home Depot! Used to be 2 1/2. I will spend at least 400 quid to build. Cheers mate from Florida!
Thanks for watching all the way from Florida. Timber has gone up in price here too. At least it will be strong and bespoke to your needs. Best of luck!
Many thanks for the nice comments. I'll keep them coming the best I can with the little time I have. Some will be more basic than others as want ensure I have something for everyone to learn from a complete novice, right through to someone looking to wire a whole house. Obviously the longer the job the longer the video takes to edit! But I'll do my best to include everyone and keep them interesting! Good luck with your projects and thanks for watching!
that is amazing, i don't get how someone may put thumb down, plus your carpentry skills , you are very clever, very aware of mathematics and physics, thank you thank you
Another way of fixing the battens to the brick is to drill the first hole, affix and then drill right through with the masonry bit and bang rawlplugs in through the wood with the screw pushed in a few turns. Saves trying to hold the batten and getting all 3 drill marks without it moving.
Hi VT, you're absolutely right. There's often several ways to do the same job. You'd obviously need longer drill bits with your suggested method but easy enough to do. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
Very very good Video, great explanations, and easy to understand. Just a quick question! Your size of stud timber is 1.5" x 3"? How can you questimate your loading weight, rule of thumb? thank you!
If you have a structural grade timber (C16 or C24 for example) you can look up load tables which will show you the span vs load, and gradients etc like on a roof for example. If it was really important then you could get a structural engineer to calculate it for you but for a simple shelf, I don't worry about it. If you're going to put really heavy stuff on it you could go for a 4x2 or even 5x2, or just put in more verticle timbers to reduce the span but for my needs what I used was ample. No need to get too worried with a simple shelving unit. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
thanks so much for posting this video. i'm looking for a shelving unit i think is sturdy and isn't necessary to screw it to the wall as i am not allowed to put holes in the walls where i live and i think your shelving unit fits that bill. my double lock up garage is in a sad state of disarray and wants to be made tidy. also it is where i do all my woodworking so this shelf will certainly fit the bill for all my storage. cheers from Australia ;D
Great video and explanations were very clear. I’m looking to build my own shelves in my garage and this is exactly what I was looking for. What size timber did you use for the frames/legs. You mentioned 4x2 as an alternative so I’m assuming you used something like 3x2? Thanks again for a great video 👍
Hi Ross, thanks for the feedback. Your looking at roughly £50 but I had a few lengths of wood left over. I used a thicker 18mm OSB board which is structural grade but you can use the cheaper 11mm thick board. However you may need more support for thinner board according to what weight you are putting on it. This is a rough figure as you could use whatever wood you like. Rough sawn 3x2 is usually cheaper than stud timber but it's not as smooth. Hope that helps. Good luck and thanks for watching!
I think they were 5mm thick x 60mm long. The length just depends on the thickness of your timber and you want enough screw to penetrate the plug in the wall. Thanks for watching.

What exactly are you planning to store on it...car engines ??? Totally over engineered. 2x1 roofing batten is more than enough for most garages and 11mm OSB. 5 screws used on a support batten ???? Are you crazy ?
Well I may well store engine parts on it yes. If you go to my other channel POUSE outta tge HOUSE you'll see I am into motor vehicles and tinkering with bikes. I also store rolls of lead for roofing and heavy stuff like that. From my experience always over engineer and you won't be going back to put it right! Thanks for watching. 👍

Nice video. How many 2x4's did you end up using?
Sorry for late reply! If I'm honest I can't remember but I'd say about 10 at a guess. Thanks for watching 👍
Did you put any screws on the back uprights into the Wall
6min 30 secs, it's all in the video. Thanks for watching 👍
Great video and explanations were very clear. I’m looking to build my own shelves in my garage and this is exactly what I was looking for. What size timber did you use for the frames/legs. You mentioned 4x2 as an alternative so I’m assuming you used something like 3x2? Thanks again for a great video 👍
3x2. Prob a bit late now since my reply is 3 years late! Thanks for watching 👍
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE lol, no problem. Happy to say my shelf build went absolutely fine 😉👍
Great video,. What was the approx cost of the material.
Hi Ross, thanks for the feedback. Your looking at roughly £50 but I had a few lengths of wood left over. I used a thicker 18mm OSB board which is structural grade but you can use the cheaper 11mm thick board. However you may need more support for thinner board according to what weight you are putting on it. This is a rough figure as you could use whatever wood you like. Rough sawn 3x2 is usually cheaper than stud timber but it's not as smooth. Hope that helps. Good luck and thanks for watching!
What brand/model is your chop-saw? The one in the beginning of the vid, I mean.
Hi, it's an evolution. They sell it in screwfix for about £100. Thanks for watching!
excellent!!
Thanks for watching!
Cheers mate
Nice video and excellent explanation. What part of the United Kingdom are you from?
Wales. Thanks for watching!
Did you need to Seal the untreated wood you used?
No as its indoors so no issue. Thanks for watching and sorry for late reply!
how do shelves work
You just put things on them. Simple. Thanks for watching!
What size were the screws for screwing to the wall? In the video you just say " 5 by 6" does this mean 5 gauge and 6 inch long?!
I think they were 5mm thick x 60mm long. The length just depends on the thickness of your timber and you want enough screw to penetrate the plug in the wall. Thanks for watching.
he said 4x2 so who knows what hes saying.... could be anything
Hi mate, bit of a random question but what size was the pilot holes you were making for these screws? Thanks.
I could see the kick back going to happen on the first cut of your osb. Should have showed it
Not sure what you mean sorry. Thanks for watching.

stud timber? what kind of wood/
Timber for stud-work ! Usually Pine !
Yes it's pine. Just soft wood. Its stuff used to make stud walls in houses. Thanks for watching.
if your in the US its usually fir, kiln dried.
Habla demasiado, se mas concreto y no mires tanto hacia la cámara (no es necesario) gracias por el video
Thanks for watching.

@Peter Talbot Here's a huge collection of woodworking plans: WoodSun. xyz
What exactly are you planning to store on it...car engines ???
Totally over engineered.
2x1 roofing batten is more than enough for most garages and 11mm OSB.
5 screws used on a support batten ????
Are you crazy ?
Well I may well store engine parts on it yes. If you go to my other channel POUSE outta tge HOUSE you'll see I am into motor vehicles and tinkering with bikes. I also store rolls of lead for roofing and heavy stuff like that. From my experience always over engineer and you won't be going back to put it right! Thanks for watching. 👍
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE ok. An engineer is some one who can safely solve a problem with a shilling..others use a pound.
There is something for everyone on Stodoys website.
