Awesome video, really like the easy to follow instructions with the sketchup demonstration!
Glad it was helpful!
Great Build, great narrative. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you found it worthwhile. Your encouragement motivates me to create more videos. Let me know what you'd like to see - my channel is just getting started, and I want to make content that you find valuable!
I've been watching DIY wood/woodworking video for months now and this is the first time I see your video on my feed- also I don't comment on videos I watch but I need to do it this time. I really liked your video and will definitely watch more from your channel. Great visuals, plans, and instructions- Keep up the good work!
Thrilled to hear my video popped up in your feed and that you enjoyed it! Your kind words and support mean a lot, especially given your experience with DIY content. Stay tuned for more, and always feel free to reach out with questions or ideas for future projects! 🛠️🌟
I just said the same thing. I guess I'll have to start commenting more on things I like. I was looking for an easy step by step video weeks ago and I watched a ton and nothing was explained well. Now I feel like I can do this.
If you were REALLY planning on putting heavy things on these shelves, I'd probably add a jack stud next to each leg directly under the shelf so it isn't only a few construction screws holding up the entire weight of the shelf.
Great tip on the jack stud for heavier loads! That's the nice part about DIY - easy to tweak for extra strength.
I am building these for a storage room. Is there any concern that the shelves will sag in the middle?
I like the jack stud recommendation.
I was going to say to notch it but yeah that’s a decent idea. So it’s atleast hearing bearing instead of relying on fasteners only. Only downside is the jack stud would only reenforce the bottom shelf while if he notched it all three shelves would be supported and it would use less material then adding a jack below each shelf.
You would also save material at the ends as well you wouldn’t need that end piece if it was notched.
Great job and awesome video ; very good explaining everything in details this is the best DIY shelves videos I've ever seen!! Thank you
they're delivering and building a Shed / Kit on my back of my house But I'm gonna need shelves like these
if you can advise me ? my shed will be 10' x 20 is pretty good size and is slopes up to 10'- ft tall how can I build shelves almost all the way to the ceiling taking advantage of all the space .
do you have the plans for these video? and any other video about these kinda ceiling I have ; let me know thank you so much.. Greetings to you & your family from S. A. Texas
Best video
This an awesome project, I built it yesterday, but you definitely need more wood the video shows, other than that very cost effective.. only paid $90 for materials and it helped so much cleaning my garage up
How much wood was needed
I love hearing that it cost so little. This is what DIY is all about!
Id build out from the wall studs. You can make sure the shelves are level as the floor most likely isnt
i'd like 2 c videos, done like this, 4 some of your other plans. thanks👍
I'm glad you're interested! More videos featuring different plans are definitely on the way. Stay tuned.
Somethings to think about. The three shelve assembly weighs 165 pounds (75kg), so two people (preferrably three people) are needed to raise it off the garage floor . Also, a 50 inch wood clamp is essential, you cannot hold the wood with your hand. Third, when building shelve box complete both ends first, square it and then complete three inner legs. Fourth, carefully cut four legs to same length (within 1/8 inch), then carefully assure first two legs are parallel, then next two legs are parallel. Fifth, safety attachment to a wall stud is essential, but screwing through box (1.5 inches) , through empty space (1.5 - 2.5 inches), through sheet rock (5/8 inch) to reach a wood stud is about 4.5 inches. The longest wood screw at Home Depot is a #10 by 4 inches which makes me question if you will get threads into the wall stud. I suggest solid attaching remnant wood to wall stud and then wood screw attach shelve to remnant two by four.
I really appreciate your insights! Your tips are spot on and will help others get even better results. Thanks for sharing your expertise!
This is really nice, well done. What software do you use for planning things out?
Thanks. I use SketchUp it's a solid choice for planning.
Board cutting used to be done in some British stores, the equivalent of Home Depot. But not anymore.
It's unfortunate, but with today's economy, building your own furniture is often worth it. Having a table saw is one of those essential tools that will always come in handy!
Hi, great simple storage shelf. What CAD program did you use?
I use Sketchup.
Great video. You should upload to KEEK.
Thanks for the tip!
What bins fit best on these shelves so they don’t overhang? Hoping you have done that homework!
Great question about the bins! While I don't have specific recommendations, you can easily find suitable bins at stores like Home Depot, Lowe's, Target, or Walmart. Just check their dimensions and adjust the shelf spacing accordingly. A little research goes a long way to ensure these shelves meet your needs perfectly. Remember, you can tailor the shelves during the build phase to fit the bins you choose. Happy building!
So we need more than 12 2X4s right? For the legs and the 21 inchs connectors. If im not mistaken
Yes it is not enough 2x4s the 12 as mentioned only accounts for the long width of the shelf sides. I'll need to go back to the store and get more since I am starting this project. Great design but a mistake on amount of wood to get it seems.
How much wood was needed, as I was watching the video I was like wait that don't make sense bc where are you getting the wood for the middle😂 seems like I would need a total of 20 4x8 and then I need some for the middle so like a total of 22 ?
@@asahacic3249I believe 24. Just remember to use some of your connector boards from the 72" legs you cut. I ended up 1 short because I didn't lol
Lumber shopping list:
(23) 2 in x 4 in x 8 ft
(3) 48 in x 96 in (1/2″ thick) plywood sheets
Sorry about the mix-up, and thanks for catching that! The PDF DIY plan has the accurate details.
The video is well made and inspired me to do this project, but I can't help but feel like the error on the amount of wood needed is on purpose. Edits can be inserted into the video to fix the mistake but instead the comments just point you to buying the plans because that's where the correct information is. I would not buy the plans to a build in the hope that they will be accurate if the RUclips video makes such a terrible math error. The amount of 2x4's are off by almost double, increasing the cost of the build significantly.
please what program do you use to create these designs ?
SketchUp
Cool video; i know you have 72" as height, but can we increase to 96", or would that create issue?
Increasing the height to 96 inches is definitely doable. Just ensure your garage ceiling is high enough to accommodate it. Keep in mind, if the shelf is too tall, accessing the top shelf could be challenging. Stability is crucial for taller shelves, so make sure to secure them firmly to the wall. This is vital to prevent tipping, especially with added height. Also, consider weight distribution - heavier items should go on the lower shelves for better balance.
@@gooddiyplans8855Thanks for the tips!
Great video, I'm going to follow this. By the way, your 2x4 count is way off. You need 12 just for the sides. Not including the braces or the legs
You're right, and I apologize for the miscount. The PDF DIY plan has the correct details, though. Thanks for catching that!

6 and it could be 6,000,000,000
True, it might seem like a lot of tools for just a couple of shelves! But think of it as a long-term investment for endless DIY fun. And hey, there's always the option to borrow or rent.
Why in the world would you put 12 2x4s needed when damn well you need way over 12!! Now I have to go to the store again.
Yeah I bought 6 2x4s and two sheets of ply to build one shelf, luckily I had more 2x4’s in the garage. Not sure how I missed that this item list is wrong.
You're right, my apologies for the mix-up. Glad to say the PDF DIY plan is accurate and should help you complete the project smoothly!
Sassy
How many you ended up getting in total?
@@gooddiyplans8855 thanks!!
Nice explanation I’d add more braces for those shelves
Yes, definitely a good idea if you want them more secure. Always better to be safe!
what would be a reasonable price to charge a customer to build these shelves? labor only they are providing the materials.
I wouldn't charge more than the cost of buying metal shelves. Maybe around $250? What do you think?
Why not notch it into place at the ends instead of relying on fasteners? Same way you would build a deck to DCA6 standards. Might as well make it as strong as possible. No competent carpenter relys on fasteners only for structural members. And I hope they were atleast Simpson lag screws and just not regular deck screws 😂 those can shear and aren’t designed for that.
There are definitely multiple ways to do this, and this is a more beginner-friendly version. You can certainly make it much more heavy-duty!
Wow! This is what I was looking for a few weeks ago. I'm glad your video came up this time. This is me now, headed to your etsy shop! Off I go &>>>>>>>>> ❣️💕👌
Sweet! 🎉
Great plans and I am going to use for my project, but the ammount of 2x4s to get for this project is not accurate as stated in the video. 12 pieces seems to only cover one section out of the two that fit together. Otherwise, thank you for the easy simple plans that a DIY guy like myself can handle.
You're right about that. Thanks for pointing it out, and I'm glad you found the plans easy to follow!
