Garage storage: Shelving

A garage is the perfect home for all kinds of items and activities of storing sports equipment for tools and machines; and

It is the original purpose for parking for activities such as a Home Office,

a gym or a workshop. If your garage is used for the storage of information rather than

other activities that really need some shelves for the organization.

Normally garage shelves you will find two main forms: site built and vorgefertigte. Website built shelves are generally less expensive and allow to customize sizes on the available space. Find everything you need in the local Centre of the House, wood yard, discount or hardware store.

One of the foundations of the garage shelving is a simple piece of ¾ "plywood or a length of 1 or 2 times out of wood in a set of platform support for heavy work." This is mounted by attaching the enclosure for the studs directly with long screws then by attaching the platform to media. In order to strengthen the platform, you can add a key in each Stud.

A different kind of shelves are supported through the floor. A method is that each 50 inch vertical 2x4s run and it flat on the ground and they assign bar or beam of the roof above. In addition the 2x4s run horizontally on the edge between the requirements and a particle board is used to create the virtual library. The most common dimensions are 19-25 cm depth and spacing between 2x4s usually 25-inch, but naturally these sizes can change to accommodate the size of the elements, where it is stored.

You must take into account the space between the posts for storing small items. By attaching a number of strips of 1 x 2 horizontal to in two adjacent edges button you cut some pieces of 1 x 6 about 6 inch, and 1 x 4 wood and Les connection between Poland and they of the 1x2s slide can create some small shelves. These are smaller and lighter ideal for glass jars, cans and bottles and also for other elements. The small shelves are ideal for organizing and storing screws and bolts.

The best option is to create prefabricated garage shelves

Steel shelves. Plastic shelves may be sufficient to store light.

Items are saved by weight, but at the time may be more resistant to the heavier elements. One of the disadvantages of the shelves made of steel is that it not to size for what they have can be cut some height, depth and width standard, so that you can, that fits in the available space.

Customization is another important consideration in prefabricated shelves. Prefabricated shelves should adjustable at two different places within the shelves must and also the pins for adjustment heavy, and they will have something in place

to prevent them solve or accidentally expelled.

One other thing in mind to keep, if choose prefabricated shelves, it is designed especially for heavy loads need a wall mounting or other type of support
