DIY Under Stairs Storage Drawers
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 мар 2024
- In this video I take some time out of Dads Garage and address the minor issue of the 'cupboard under the stairs'. Watch me do a full DIY build, creating some usable under stairs storage with a few little hiccups along the way.
Apologies for the grainy GoPro footage in places, wrong settings!!

Nice video dude. I have an understair project of my own to do this winter and I learned alot from watching this.
Nice job mate. You did well, I am sure your wife will be very pleased to see it all finished neat and tidy.
My wife has been nagging me to get this done! Now I’ve watched your video, time to get it done on Father’s Day, thank you mate
Great to hear it 💪, always a good idea to keep the wife happy with shoe storage. Good luck with your build and done for get to measure twice, cut once lol Thanks for watching
Really professionally done.
Thank you very much 🙌
Great job, I'm looking to do this myself and getting inspiration!
Hey thanks for watching, good luck with your build :)
Beautiful job!!!!
Thank you ☺️
Very nicely done.
Thanks Paul 💪
Nice work I was the one that cut your timber 😂👍
Haha nice one dude 🙌. Thanks for the Sub and comment 😀
Great vid! Saving for when/if i feel confident to do it myself! Especially after having seen quotes of over a £1000! 😮
You can do it!
This is great! Ours will be an additional challenge because we have the original Victorian panelling and I don’t want to lose it… Not sure it’s possible.
Nice job mate, you’ve come a long way since that wonky cupboard 😂
I can’t take inspiration as there’s a toilet under my stairs 😮 👌🏻
I’ve been waiting for this comment 😂
@@InDadsGarage 😆😆😆😆
Brilliant
Great video!! Though, your car will become more and more a builders car 😃 I can talk from experience... I subbed, hopefully you do more of these...
Also, be careful using the nailer, because the nails can move left/right, and, if your fingers are near the nailing gun, the nail can go through your fingers.. Though, good video!
Hey thanks for the sub and comments, haha you are right, its currently full of plaster dust and sawdust from my current build.
Kicks like a mule ;0)
Looks good to me mate. I'm about to spend 1500 quid to get something very similar. I just wouldn't have the confidence to complete it to the standard I want. Good effort pal 👍
Hey thanks for the comment and kind feedback. Hope you are pleased with your install once it's done. Best of luck
Great video, really basic question first timer question...how did you work out the angle of the cut which runs up?
Hey thanks for watching, and no such thing as a silly question in my eyes. So my stair case runs roughly at a 45o angle (some may vary). I just cut my end panel angle at 45o the glued and nailed it. Being honest it didn’t match the inside angle perfectly, however it was all covered with the trim so didn’t matter to much. The drawer fronts then line up to the true angle as shown with the laser lever. You could use a laser lever to start with and get it spot on, or a sliding bevel angle tool. Hope that helps
Great job on this and really helpful. What width were the drawers in the end?
Hey thanks for watching, drawer widths in the end were:
64cm
54cm
39cm (blanking pannel)
Depth of drawers were 70cm
Top tip don't build it outside without checking you can get it back inside first lol!!!
Hi very nice build, differently want to do something like this for our home. Question, the structure, you use 18mm, but for the cabinets, you used 12mm, did you find it strong enough to use? I have a ryobi nailer, do you find the nails to be strong enough to use or is screwing better. Also, if you do work with MDF, please wear a mask as MDF dust is really nasty to inhale. But other than that, this is a fantastic build for £200. If you had to get a Pro to do it, they would have charged over £600 and you did a great job.
Hi thanks for you comments and feedback. So far I have found the 12mm fine for the drawer construction however if I was to do it again I would use 18mm for the drawer fronts and account for that in the overall depth. The glue and nails have been plenty strong enough though for the construction and once in place and fitted under the stairs its solid but screw would work well too. Great point about the PPF and MDF dust, unfortunately as DIYers this kind of thing is often overlooked especially when only doing odd jobs here and there, rather than working with it everyday. Thanks for watching and good luck with your project :)
He found out by removing that base board, he could've just unscrewed those studs lol.
great video! how did you attach the fronts to the drawers?
Hey thank you very much. In the ends I pinned them in place with the nail gun while they were all lined up and then put screws in from behind. Abit of wood filler and paint sorted out the nail marks in the front 👌. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Hi pal your work is very impressive I want to make a design very similar to yours, can you advise the best screws/nails to use please ? Thank you for your content and keep it up 👍
Ps I will be using the hammer method as I don't have a nail gun 👍
nice work mate. Did you screw the units to the floor in the storage room or are they free standing?
Thank you very much 🙌. Due to the weight of them they are pretty much free standing. I did put a couple of screw up into stair case but it didn’t even really need that once it was all boxed in. Thanks for watching.
@@InDadsGarage fab! Thanks for replying. Keep the videos coming
Can you list the tools you have used? like Dewalt circular saw, etc....?
Hey thanks for watching, I used pretty much every Dewalt cordless tool I own:
Circular Saw
Jigsaw
Multitool
Impact Driver
Drill
Grinder
also
Nail Gun
Circular Chop Saw
Hammer
Chisel
Screwdriver
Handsaw
Tape Measure
Penis
Clamps
Spirit Level
Hacksaw
Pri-tool (crowbar)
Set Square
Stanley knife
.....
And probably a few more tools...
Thank you, great video, It helped me alot in doing my own under stairs storage....you have simplified this so I used it as a guide. Thanks.
how long did that take you to complete?
Hi, took about two days to do the full build and then another day to decorate the cupboard under the stairs 👍
what saw is that
Hey Richard which Saw are you referring to?, I used pretty much everyone i own in this video! lol. The main one I used was a Dewalt Circular and also a Jigsaw. I did break a hacksaw blade at one point too!!! Thanks for watching :)
To me to you!
Haha, I am basically Barry & Paul combined at times lol.
Nice work but I hope u sealed inside the drawers as mfd doesn’t tolerate any water on it from the shoes u put in, jus saying x
Hi thanks for you kind feedback, actually I didn't seal the inside but that's a great point and something I overlooked. Fortunately I am very OCD so only clean shoes go back in there lol. A little finishing off job for another time though :). Thanks for watching.
