Hahahahahaha, know what you mean, mine's full with two motorcycles and a bunch of prepping supplies, and camping equipment! I'd like to build more efficient shelves, but I'd have a serious game of Tetris trying to move all of the stuff around.
you would gain rigidity if you flipped the angle iron so that the flat was resting on the 2x4. alternatively you could cut a notch into the 2x4 to allow the angle iron to drop down. by not supporting the downward load you are just pulling out the screws since the angle iron will want to twist. you could also just shore under the shelving with something 7/8 thick. if the shelving isn't being supported it will bow as well. depending on where and how much the rest of the components flex, the shelves may suddenly drop.
Ana- wow this is a storage unit. thank you for sharing all your terrific Wood Working projects. Take care Ana & God Bless you & your family as always🙏👏👏👏💕🌻
Ana I first need a 20’ garage! Haha! I’ll stick with my smaller “Ana White” version that I built years ago that is still perfectly in tact! Thank u Ana, u are wonderful 🤗👍😊
to anyone going to build this. you should use wood screws since that's what your biting into. unless you don't predrill which you would then do well to use self tapping. best of luck
How much of the cost was the angle iron? I wonder if you could save money by switching to 3/4" plywood and forget the angle iron altogether. Then again, I don't know what you're storing on it.
That’s a good thought! It was about $23 a stick, total about $200 If you go the 3/4” plywood unsupported, the only thing is you’d need legs every 3 feet, so the cost would go up that way. Not sure which would be cheaper tho
@@AnaWhiteDIY Oh, I didn't think about that. With video you sometimes lose the scale. Those are large spans which wouldn't work with just plywood. It's been a long time since I've bought lumber so I was curious. Overall, your design is definitely the superior route.
@@AnaWhiteDIY I’m confused. Is it $100 per 20 foot shelving unit?? Or $100 per 20 foot shelf?? If it’s per “shelf”, then the unit of four 20 foot shelves that we see in your video cost $400…. Which is it!?! 👵🏻 Thank you for helping me understand this.
Metal angle is obviously the key to this design but ... steel or aluminium or either? I assume steel but you don't actually say anywhere, here or in the plans.
Love the use of metal to support the shelves. Still like your smaller ones where you fix the shelf heights simultaneously
Thank you!
Thank you for watching that video too!!
Love it. Now if we could just have an empty garage to build it in! Ours is full to the gills!❤

The angle iron is a great idea. These shelves are super sturdy, cost efficient, simple to build, and easy to customize. 👍
YES! Thank you:)
Built one similar, in mechanical room of my last house. 12' long. Lived there 14 years. Works. Good-n-sturdy.
Excellent!
Great idea to have the metal bars. Love the plan
Thank you!
Love it. Simple and perfect
Agreed 💯
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for the free plans Ana and family
You are welcome and thank you for watching and encouraging us!
Always appreciate your videos
Thank you so much for your support!
Brilliant! Love it.
Thank you!
Great video Ana. I love this channel I get some builds from here and customize them. Thanks for putting up content. 👍🏾
So glad to hear thank you!
@@AnaWhiteDIY thank you I started my channel because of you and I love working with my hands.

I'm happy to hear it's working well for you!
@@AnaWhiteDIY for many years! I even moved and took the same lumber and put it right back up in my new place 😊. Thank u Ana for always inspiring me!
I don't know why I never thought of that. I build stuff with angle iron all the time. Great idea.
Excellent!
I built something similar for my sister's garage... they are sturdy! You can put full sized totes and it is still there today!
Awesome!
Ana, this came right on time as I was thinking I need more storage space. I guess that means great minds think alike! Thanks for Sharing! 🙃🙂
Perfect!
Thanks
Thanks for watching!
You’ve got a beautiful shop. I wish mine was as big as yours then I could build more of your projects.
Thanks 👍
Nice!
Thanks for the visit!

❤😊hope you are far away from flooding that happened there in Alaska 😊
We just had a lot of wind, no flooding...:)
Any idea what the weight capacity is? Gives the side eye to all my canning jars
For the five foot span my estimate is about 300 pounds, maybe more if the weight was distributed. That’s with the front and back angle pieces

What was your cost for this plan?
I estimate about $100 per 20 foot long shelf

Thank you, my apologies I overlooked
You are correct it is steel used
That’s not a garage that’s a frickin warehouse
Thanks for watching, this shelving is easy to customize for any space!
