Thanks. I had just done some work indoors on my wife's closet. And that gave me the idea to cover it. It wasn't looking clean before, in my opinion. But with the trim, it's mint!
Good job, although I was going nuts watching you work in sandals waiting for something to drop on your feet 😂. I've been looking at garage shelves videos to get some ideas and I like yours best. They're so neat and clean looking they look as if they were built with the house. Thanks for the great video and hope you don't mind I'll steal your design!
Hey buddy, go ahead man. Nothing is mine. That's why I made this video to share for everyone to do their thing. Yes it's funny about the sandals! And that is my trademark nowadays! Some guy made the best comment calling it afghany boots! I'm from the Caribbean and used to sandals my whole life, and these Reef sandals are awesome! But like you said. Just don't drop anything on them! Good luck!
Thanks for the informative video. For me, who doesn't understand spoken English well, it is a relief to finally see an English-language video without a dictionary. ;-) Thanks for that. Thank you for the explanations that I think are good. Greetings from Germany
Guten Morgen! I don't speak German, but i speak Dutch! Thank you for watching and please share the video with your friends and family! Next weekend I will do some work on the garage again! Stay pending, Grüße
I love how these shelves look. So clean and organized. I’m considering having the racks installed but it looks like I might get more space doing these shelves.
Yes sir! I was doing spring cleaning over the weekend and as I stand and look how the shelves looks ot still amazes me! Very proud of it! Good luck on you project!
Appreciate that man. It is still awesome very proud of myself. I have Christmas tree and more stuff on it now. Not too crowded. Later this year I will build a shed and will do a video of it also. Hope you subscribe to see it.
Nice a slick. painted and covered the holes. I think the supports. I'm actually ripping out cabinets for two shelves along a wall. Tools currently are under them, but I have a lot of bins and things that don't make the cabinets very functional. Open shelving will be much better. 2 shelves means I just need longer rods.
Yes Sir! These open shelves are handy! Just stored the Christmas tree up there! 7,5 Feet tall and fits easy up there in my space. If you have a taller garage you will have more space! Those rods come in longer lengths! Just think outside of the box and you will make this happen!
There’s plenty of videos that show how this is secured to the ceiling. That said, I prefer your method that hides the rods in the shelves instead of eye bolts on the side. This gives it a much cleaner look. That’s a good finish on the boards to make them look built in. Usually their painted or keep the wood look. This is much cleaner.
Great project and it looks very professional. I was thinking to buy those metal overhead racks but this looks much better and maybe cheaper than the racks which costs around $150 for a 3x8. I am new to DIY but inspired by your project and might try this in my garage. Thank you!
Cool man! I had the same idea! And I was new at my house when I did this! Cool project! Did in a long weekend. Some frustration will happen here and there. But one's its done! You'll be proud of your handy work!
Thank you for sharing your ideas with the community. The storage shelves came out looking great. I will apply to my own garage and send you the results.
Very innovative and clean design w/ excellent craftsmanship. Beautifully done. I'm headed to the lumber yard for materials this morning! Thanks for the inspiration.
You're very welcome! For these reasons is why I started my channel! There are so many good stuff we learn from each other on this platform! If you need any help dm me on IG and I will be glad to help you! @297modz
Dang, I’ve never seen a black n decker drill drive 3inch screws like that but I’m thinking they might have been torx as Phillips just don’t grab hard enough without having a descent impact driver which is what I primarily use now as my daily driver. Results speak for themselves, good job G!
Hey Yes it did the job! That was what I had at that point. I got some better tools nowadays. Brushless drivers and impact from craftsman! Appreciate you watching!
Hey the shelf looks great! Thanks for the inspiration! I’m definitely doing this in my garage. I really like the idea of the moulding/trim on the edge, it gives it a nice finishing touch 👍🏻
Hi there, yes that is something that stands out. I haven't seen that in any other video's. I like things to look clean. It costs maybe 20$ extra and a little bit more paint. But looks 10X better afterwards. Thank you for watching!
Really appreciate that buddy! Finally spring arrived! And I can keep working on my garage! I orderd floors that should come in next week. And hopefully I can knock it out in 1 weekend. Floors video should be uploaded sometime in april!
Nicely done! I am planning to build a similar setup and will add one element for visual effect. I will have 3 rods supporting the shelf and bought 3 6' lengths of 1/2 inch red pex tubing (spent a whopping $9) that I will insert the rods through. It's a really clean look and will go well with the black I'm planning to paint the shelves. Pex also comes in blue and white if those colors work better for someone.
Thanks Buddy. Awesome that your planning to do your own project. I would love to see a picture when your done! If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!
Thanks man! I am a bit OCD the floors and illumination are next. Working on the ideas and waiting for better weather! Subscribe so you don't miss any videos
I watched you video 3 days ago..and you inspired me to do my rhis...i made a 4' by 9' shelves ..I've spend $120 doing this and looks awesome..thanks for your video brother
Awesome man! You made my day! That's why I started this youtube channel. Send me some pics if you don't mind. Would love to see your build. My IG is: 297modz
Awesome! Appreciate the love! If I had a bigger garage I would have build a nice work bench. Next year i'll build a shed in the back yard and move some things out. And see what else i can do in the garage!
Appreciate the feed back! That combination should be nice! Some people DM me on IG about Swiss Trax. And they have nice variety of colors too. I'm really undecided now!
@@vinha916 I will be doing some more updates for sure. Regardless if i do appoxy or swiss trax. If i do those i will do it in a few weeks. As you can see i like to do everything clean. Do to foundation issues the trims are very uneven. Trying to see e clean solution for that too.
i like the setup aside from the supports in your attic. All that weight is essentially being supported by the nails in the brackets and whatever amount that bracket can hold up. Seems a bit risky. But what do i know lol
Yeahh. It might be overkill. But I sleep better knowing nothing could damage my car. Lol. But shelves are doing amazing. Bene there 2 maybe 3 years already. Thanks for watching!
Paper bag floor in the garage. My sister and I did it straight on cement. It’s easy to patch or repair as needed , wears excellent and looks pretty cool. Be sure to use oil based varathane to finish or it won’t wear well. We stained the bags before finishing with varathane.
Good question! With the stud finder I marked where the 2x6 rafters where. Then I measured from the wall till the end of the shelve where the rod will go and from there is just do a pre drill trough the ceiling sheetrock. Then went up and placed th 4x4 support and marked it from the hole and pre drilled the 4x4. I don't remember if I showed that in the video. Hope my answer is clear enough. If not let me know. Did not want to make the video longer by adding all those measurements.
Probably the best storage solution abs video showing how it’s done. I know this video has been posted about a year ago but do you have the measurement of all the pieces you had played out on the garage floor before you started? I too want to visit Home Depot and have everything pre-cut.
If it is only above the toolbox and workbench area you can do it without the rods, because you have 3 sides with all the studs. But it you only have 1 or 2 walls it will come down guaranteed. Other options would be metal brackets below shelve. Less clean look but saves space.
If it's smaller than this build then yes, you can get away with it. If what you have in mind is similar in size then definitely support it with threaded rod. There are definitely ways to support the weight of your build.
If it is where the L shape turns is, because that's where I had 2 different plywood and just to give it extra support. Slight overkill, maybe. But that shelve is going nowhere.
The only easy way to do it is if u have an easy attic entrance but here in Oz we dont have it . To take the tile off of roof and going under is a big task but it is worth it. It does give a clean finish
Great video!!! Thanks for taking the time to breakdown the process. What are the measurements from the ceiling and wall? It looks about 24” from the wall so the storage bins will fit perpendicular to the wall. I want to plan the storage space and buy the appropriate bin size to use the space effectively. Thanks again!
Hi Hugo thanks for watching! The hight from the ceiling to the top part of the shelve is 20". So make sure you calculate the thickness of the plywood before adding your frame. To save time and money, the dept is on one side 28" and the left over of the plywood about 20" I used on the other side. A plywood is normally 48" wide. Measure twice cut once. And have them cut the plywood at lowes or home depot. Let me know if you need anything else.
If the shelf is lower than the garage door opening height, my recommendation on the side depth is to come out to the edge of the garage door opening. This gets the maximum depth without decreasing the maximum space for the vehicle. If you have a higher ceiling and are going over the garage door height, then go full 4' depth. Test with a string because most garage doors rise higher than garage door rail. If the shelf is over 2' deep but less than 32", or less than 19", cut the plywood sideways in 4' lengths to save on material (12' of shelving 32" deep, 20' of shelving 19" deep). For height I recommend wither a little over 6' (a lot of cabinets are 6' tall, over 80% of males are under 6' tall), 6'8" (same as standard door height clearance), about 7'2" (most minivan hatchbacks open to 7' or less), or the height of the garage door opening (if you have high ceilings). I also recommend finishing off a wall. Narrow the 2x3 (or 2x4) supports at the garage door and continue to the front wall. Let the shelf plywood overhang the support to the same depth. Will need to notch the shelf plywood at front to allow garage door clearance (commonly missed) (test before screwing down).
Sometime it is nice to learn from average person then pros. Pros have some good tips but average person work differently and I can connect myself easy and learn better. Both are good to learn.
@Just a normal guy. I have slowly been buying some tools since that video! I still haven't done the floors because I keep spending money on cars and other stuff. But I have a vision for the garage. Hopefully, I can get some done this year. I am planning to build a dedicated wash station and some other stuff. I have it in my mind. I just need to draw it out and start looking for materials I need for it!
Nice job, as far as that floor I would epoxy it. Rent a shot blaster and buy a quality epoxy system not the home depot junk. Sherwin William's makes an good affordable industrial floor paint I have it on my garage floor. Proper prep is key to a successful job. Be safe brother.
Appreciate thise advice. The issue with my floors are in very bad shape. To much cracks. There was foundation work done. I've been doing a lot of research and will be placing Swiss Trax floors.
Thanks man! Appreciate your input! I will actually do swiss trax! Not sure if you have seen or heard of it before. As soon as I get 1000 subscribers I will do the floor!
So a 2x4 is really 1.5x3.5.. if you’re off the 1/4 of an inch then your shelf will be biting only into the drywall.. every stud should be 16 inches from the middle of the stud you found.
Thank you! I thought about it. But I wanted to be 100% sure I can see with my own 👀 that everything is firm and secure. Maybe over kill. But atleast I can sleep good at night. It has been close to a year and a half now. And still doing great.
Some areas there was no room to put on top of the joist. And I'll feel safer sleeping and knowing there is a 4x4 than 2x4. I bought them cheap any way in the back at Home depot where there was 70% off.
Hi Costco has a SwissTraxx version that is solid and significantly less expensive than the Name brand. I’m a girl and did extensive shopping around for my dream garage.
Like the safety flip flops. 😀
That is the Caribbean style. Lol
I like the trim work. Haven’t seen anyone else do that.
Thanks. I had just done some work indoors on my wife's closet. And that gave me the idea to cover it.

Swiss Trax for.the floors for sure

All you need is ti drill until a floor joist. Connect a 2x4 to that and you can support the weight from the top without those canles

Racedeck flooring mines coming in tommorow
I actually ordered Swiss Trax, kind of same idea but different brand! Much easier way to cover all the cracks in my gararge!
What should I do if I have a room over my garage ? Find the studs or will that be too much weight to hold.? Thanks
Good question! You need the support from top also! And jus lt bolts in studs from top won't be enough unfortunately
Paper bag floor in the garage. My sister and I did it straight on cement. It’s easy to patch or repair as needed , wears excellent and looks pretty cool. Be sure to use oil based varathane to finish or it won’t wear well. We stained the bags before finishing with varathane.
Hey there! That sounds like a great idea. I did not hear about that one. Will take a look at that option! Thanks for the idea.
Safety glasses, especially when drilling above your head. Buckets as a ladder isn’t safe either. Great job...just take time to be more safe!
Yes Sir! Should have been a bit more careful! 100% agree! Thanks for watching!
SO how did you know where to drill the hole in the attic support accurately

Leggari epoxy floor with a water theme
Question, do you think this could be made without the supporting rods? I don’t have anything on the ceiling to hold the structure
If it is only above the toolbox and workbench area you can do it without the rods, because you have 3 sides with all the studs. But it you only have 1 or 2 walls it will come down guaranteed.
Other options would be metal brackets below shelve. Less clean look but saves space.
If it's smaller than this build then yes, you can get away with it. If what you have in mind is similar in size then definitely support it with threaded rod. There are definitely ways to support the weight of your build.
What was your reason for putting the threaded rod that close together ?
If it is where the L shape turns is, because that's where I had 2 different plywood and just to give it extra support. Slight overkill, maybe. But that shelve is going nowhere.
Great shelving system. I will say that I was cringing seeing the sandals and drilling without any eye safety gear.
But, once again, nicely done.
Sorry for the unsafe environment. Luckily nothing bad happened and I'm definitely happy with the outcome! Thanks for watching
The only easy way to do it is if u have an easy attic entrance but here in Oz we dont have it . To take the tile off of roof and going under is a big task but it is worth it. It does give a clean finish

I also recommend finishing off a wall. Narrow the 2x3 (or 2x4) supports at the garage door and continue to the front wall. Let the shelf plywood overhang the support to the same depth. Will need to notch the shelf plywood at front to allow garage door clearance (commonly missed) (test before screwing down).

Sometime it is nice to learn from average person then pros. Pros have some good tips but average person work differently and I can connect myself easy and learn better. Both are good to learn.
Pro's will use pro tools. We work with what we have!
@@297modz Exactly, I have very few tools and no workshop setups.
@Just a normal guy. I have slowly been buying some tools since that video! I still haven't done the floors because I keep spending money on cars and other stuff. But I have a vision for the garage. Hopefully, I can get some done this year. I am planning to build a dedicated wash station and some other stuff. I have it in my mind. I just need to draw it out and start looking for materials I need for it!
@@297modz I am sure you will do one day. Good Luck.
@@Just_a_normal_guy11 thank you Sir!
Where did you buy the rods that you used to hang the shelves?
Hey I got them from Home depot. I have the link that I used in the description of the video! And all other parts I used. Good luck with your build.
Nice job. Not sure who did your electrical wiring but it is not up to any code I know of.
Almost 40 yrs old house! So lots of stuff that would never pass any code now a days!
Nice job! Which stad finder are you using? It looks dead accurate.
Thanks for watching. The stud finder I use is this one: amzn.to/3tLuhYd Less than 20$ and only 1 left, go for it!
Nice job, as far as that floor I would epoxy it. Rent a shot blaster and buy a quality epoxy system not the home depot junk. Sherwin William's makes an good affordable industrial floor paint I have it on my garage floor. Proper prep is key to a successful job. Be safe brother.
Appreciate thise advice. The issue with my floors are in very bad shape. To much cracks. There was foundation work done.
I've been doing a lot of research and will be placing Swiss Trax floors.
Great Job. Use a gray marble epoxy on the floor…. It will pop….
Thanks man! Appreciate your input! I will actually do swiss trax! Not sure if you have seen or heard of it before. As soon as I get 1000 subscribers I will do the floor!
So a 2x4 is really 1.5x3.5.. if you’re off the 1/4 of an inch then your shelf will be biting only into the drywall.. every stud should be 16 inches from the middle of the stud you found.
I used 2x3 not 2x4. For what I use the shelve would be over kill. And yes I agree with 2x4 you would need longer screws!
Good job thanks you I’m copy your design 👍👏🍺🍺🍺
Not 100% mine. But adapted to my garage! You are welcome. Good luck! Thanks for watching!
Nice job.
Thank you! Get yours done. You will love it!
like your job but 1 1/2 for stud in wall bud not 2 inches
Nice Job But you could have avoided going up in Addict by using Hanger bolts, 3/8"-16 x 6"! Treaded x Lag into 2x6 Beams.
Thank you! I thought about it. But I wanted to be 100% sure I can see with my own 👀 that everything is firm and secure. Maybe over kill. But atleast I can sleep good at night. It has been close to a year and a half now. And still doing great.
In the attic all you had to do was lay 2x4s across the tops of the ceiling joists . Did not really need 4x4s
Some areas there was no room to put on top of the joist. And I'll feel safer sleeping and knowing there is a 4x4 than 2x4. I bought them cheap any way in the back at Home depot where there was 70% off.
Put down Swisstraxx on the floor bro! Thts gonna make ur garage pop!
I will do that! Will order some samples to see what pattern i'll put down! Did you have it done?
Hi
Costco has a SwissTraxx version that is solid and significantly less expensive than the Name brand. I’m a girl and did extensive shopping around for my dream garage.
@@sharonmcrae6223 hey that is nice to hear! Do they come in different colors?
