Going on 4 years and these shelves are still as new... but if you need something EVEN STRONGER check out my last shelving build! ruclips.net/video/O3bhCAe-BSw/видео.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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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….
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
I like the look, but would have a 2x4 inside the legs for solid support, right now it's just holding on by the two screws kinda sketchy with some weight 😬
@@JasonExplainsThings no you don't watching it twice now its crystal clear. You must not understand.... If you cut 2x4s and place in the sections behind the legs it will have 87 times the tension strength vs your screws and can't really fail. I'm sure you just have some household stuff in the totes(not heavy) but any real weight and these could/will fail.
I think this is one of the best videos on this style of garage shelving. However If your doing this at home make your support beams 21” each then the total depth of your shelving will be 24” and since plywood comes in 4x8 you just need to cut in half to sheet it.
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.
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.
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!
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.
@@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!
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.
@@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.
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.
Hi Jason, I don't understand a thing, with us in Belgium, the floor of the garage like that of the house is always very flat. If we find a soil that is not, we redo it entirely. Why not have it done at home before building this beautiful storage structure? May God protect you from this coronavirus
Excellent video, great detail and commentary. I did subscribe...first thing I've EVER subscribed to on RUclips. Thanks for all this guidance. And yes, as someone else mentioned, your daughters are adorable! You are blessed.
I did almost exactly the same thing. but you don't really need the vertical poles in the center, they kind of block access. the 2by4 placed vertically is strong enough. good choice on the high-strength screws, I did the same. Your use of jig was nice, I remember without that I had to swap between drilling holes and driving the screws, it was a pain
Personal preference, I would have added vertical support beams to the back of the wall so that the load is not rested solely on the wall anchor screws. Yes, it would hinder a tiny bit, but it's better than a "floating" support as in your current setup.
Yes, the screws are more than adequate to support anything that you would put on the shelves. This is essentially how an outside deck is built using larger bolts/screws.
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.
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.
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. :)
First off let me say I love this storage shelf and thanks for uploading. I do have a few things to confirm. 1) the lag screws you predrilled holes? And you only used 1 per stud? 2) confirm the 3 1/2” screws are for the pocket holes? Thanks again!
Hi.... I'm new here. I'm also a novice in respect to tools, building shelves, etc... I too am wondering about the length of the pocket hole screw. Just a purchased a Kreg Jig. The manual suggests 2-1/2" screw when joining wood that is 1-1/2 thickness (2x4). Could Jason's material list include a typo? It reads "
Looks like my entire text was not included. cont.... It reads "10 3.5" wood screws" I'm assuming the 4" screws are for joining the 2x4 to the wall studs. The 2" screws are for joining the vertical studs to the frame. And thus the 3.5" screws for the pocket holes, yet per the Kreg manual it seems the length should be 2.5". Again appreciate if anyone can advise. Thx!
You should have mentioned that you are attaching the lumber to vertical studs behind the drywall (found because the screws heads are still exposed or that you used a stud-finder).
@@JasonExplainsThings Oops. My bad. I skipped all the beginning prep work to the actual installation (even then I still fast-forwarded to different parts of the video).
Those shelves are super nice, sadly I don't have quite the width to play with that you do, so my shelves wouldn't be as deep. Why are new garages so darn cramped!? 🤬 Great video! Like button SMASHED!
Krystof yeah that is a bummer. My garage isn’t very deep, but it is wide. If I was parking a truck or SUV in there I probably wouldn’t build them so deep.
As for the shelves. A great easy to follow build and instructions. Thank you for posting. Think the plywood on other walls to avoid searching for studs is something I'll be doing soon. Thanks for the idea! Subscribing, time now.
Going on 4 years and these shelves are still as new... but if you need something EVEN STRONGER check out my last shelving build! ruclips.net/video/O3bhCAe-BSw/видео.html

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.

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!
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.
Yep, this is basically the way I’m gonna do mine.
Love that you featured your girls that gave a real family feel to the video.
Pocket holes for the stretchers is genius
Thanks for the walk through, I just made a set of bunk beds loosely off the shelf design for my octuplets.
Just made these in my garage
Pre cut 2x4x2
Pre cut 2x4x8
And OSB was 4x8, had them cut into 26.75x4
Thanks!
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
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….
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.
Very well explained and you seem to be hands off no gloves and no help and did everything yourself without any help. 👍🏻
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.
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?
Great Idea about using the scrap 2x4's as a helper! Thanks for showing that!

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.

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.

First off let me say I love this storage shelf and thanks for uploading. I do have a few things to confirm. 1) the lag screws you predrilled holes? And you only used 1 per stud? 2) confirm the 3 1/2” screws are for the pocket holes?
Thanks again!
Hi.... I'm new here. I'm also a novice in respect to tools, building shelves, etc... I too am wondering about the length of the pocket hole screw. Just a purchased a Kreg Jig. The manual suggests 2-1/2" screw when joining wood that is 1-1/2 thickness (2x4). Could Jason's material list include a typo? It reads "
Looks like my entire text was not included. cont.... It reads "10 3.5" wood screws" I'm assuming the 4" screws are for joining the 2x4 to the wall studs. The 2" screws are for joining the vertical studs to the frame. And thus the 3.5" screws for the pocket holes, yet per the Kreg manual it seems the length should be 2.5". Again appreciate if anyone can advise. Thx!
Good work on the shelf’s. Nice truck btw👍🏻
Thanks! Lots of videos about it. :-)
This was a very well made video. I can actually build my own shelfs now
Not bad for a homeowner
Thanks?
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!
Great video and beautiful shelves, thanks from Brazil.
You should have mentioned that you are attaching the lumber to vertical studs behind the drywall (found because the screws heads are still exposed or that you used a stud-finder).
I did. 😘
@@JasonExplainsThings Oops. My bad. I skipped all the beginning prep work to the actual installation (even then I still fast-forwarded to different parts of the video).
Great work! I'd love to build something like that in our garage when we buy a house.
I'm building a small workshop in my apartment!
Excellent built....I am going to be building one in my garage very soon....
Syed Abbas Moosvi nice! Fun project.
I cant wait to do the same...its exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
Awesome work papo! They came out amazing.
Great Job
My garage floor is just like yours...you made it look so easy!
love it, organization shelfs. thanks for share this video , more ideas please
love the music
Very nice build, I’m following your direction for my garage shelving 👍
Nice! For some other options check out this follow up video if you need a higher weight capacity: ruclips.net/video/O3bhCAe-BSw/видео.html
Well done that man! Especially for doing it all singlehandedly! Liked and subbed.
well done Jason. that's great..! very simple and so helpful..
Excellent work, and the music was pretty kool too.
Those shelves are super nice, sadly I don't have quite the width to play with that you do, so my shelves wouldn't be as deep. Why are new garages so darn cramped!? 🤬 Great video! Like button SMASHED!
Krystof yeah that is a bummer. My garage isn’t very deep, but it is wide. If I was parking a truck or SUV in there I probably wouldn’t build them so deep.
Great instruction and easy to follow.
Really good job, dude! This is what i had in mind for my basement. Imma do something similar. Thank you bud
I'm building this tomorrow....thanks for the Idea!
As for the shelves. A great easy to follow build and instructions. Thank you for posting. Think the plywood on other walls to avoid searching for studs is something I'll be doing soon. Thanks for the idea! Subscribing, time now.
