Build these GARAGE Storage Shelves / Easy Weekend DIY Project

Are you tired of cluttered garage floors and constantly having to dig through your attic to find those storage bins and totes? In this video, I'll show you how to build your own overhead garage storage shelves that are perfect for filling that empty space in your garage with high ceilings. This project is super easy to build with just 2x4s and plywood, and can be completed in just one day.
I'll walk you through the design process, from measuring out the space and finding stud locations to cutting and assembling the frame. And if you run into any problems, like I did when I realized the studs in my ceiling weren't aligned with my design, I'll show you a quick solution that will keep your shelves sturdy and secure.
So join me as we transform your cluttered garage into a organized and efficient storage space with these overhead shelves. Let's get started!

Great use of all that extra space. Chains are a grat idea too

[@3Guys4Paws]

Excellent idea i wish i had more room above my new garage/shop. Look forward to more content

[@a1fla]

good idea with the chains, clean, easy and economical

[@larrystone5749]

Good job thx for sharing

[@MCsCreations]

Excellent work, Tim! I really liked the idea of using the hooks! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@CasualBuilds]

Thank you!

[@XxNiGexX]

Job looks great. Chains are a nice touch. I'm having a difficult time finding my studs overhead with a stud finder

[@meanpaco]

Nice simple project. Just moved into a new house myself this past summer and am exploring storage solutions. This might work great

[@CasualBuilds]

That's awesome, congrats on the new house!

[@phillylgnd22]

Just subscribe bro. I really want to get into woodworking and your videos really do help. Can't wait to get started on some projects. Keep going. ✌🏾👊🏾

[@CasualBuilds]

Thank you!

[@ChaossX77]

Wow surprised you didn't end up using the logo Zimri made for you. It's so good.

[@danielkarl49]

Great video! Hey what size chain did you use? Thanks!

[@stefanformgren4978]

same here, have the strollers hanging on the walls aswell :)

[@CasualBuilds]

Clears so much room!

[@kathleentognacci9358]

Love that you still have your power ranger towel ☺️ mom

[@CasualBuilds]

Hahaha

[@kathleentognacci9358]

I do love the organization too!

[@DobieOroz]

@casualbuilds just curious, how how far down is the top of the shelving from the ceiling?

[@therenegade6379]

Tim.... I was hoping you would show how it looked when the garage was up. To see the space view. Thank you.

[@CasualBuilds]

shoot me a message on instagram (@casualbuilds) - i'll show ya!

[@lewgarmas]

What is the tool you used to carry the plywood off your truck?

[@richardpbenaidrene6458]

It’s a lot of work ,not going to do it alone I need to hire some one. What Would it cost to do something like this ?

[@waynesbeenthere9681]

very good and innovative. Can you tell me the dimensions of your shelves and your thoughts of not going the full 48" in depth? Curious as I am considering ramifications of a having shelves like yours - just 4' * 8' as that would save a couple of cuts.

[@CasualBuilds]

I'm sure you could do a 4x8 and not do any cuts. I personally didn't want it sticking out that far.

[@davebardsley278]

What do you think the weight limit is?

[@brucemartini2288]

Nice idea, but I wouldn't put too much weight on shelf( is SO easy to do) so you dont have a nasty surprise, if the eye bolts should pull out of ceiling stud🤔😊 you may utilize the wood on the wall by the garage doors, make a support brace , going from end of shelf to top of vertical board.

[@CasualBuilds]

Oh I like that extra support idea.

[@brucemartini2288]

@@CasualBuilds 😊

[@brucemartini2288]

@@CasualBuilds i would drill thru support board and shelf, put nut and bolt thru both.

[@gregorynotgreg]

Very cool, thank you. What software or app did you use to design these in 3D?

[@KBQuick81]

Looks like SketchUp

[@CasualBuilds]

yep, SketchUp!

[@ryanp8974]

great video - curious how much weight do you think those could support

[@cardboard8206]

I was wondering the same thing. I'd imagine the weakest point is the eye bolts in the ceiling. Depending on depth and gauge of the bolt, it could be considerable. The chains are angled slightly which reduces the load strength, but upwards of 500lbs is likely

[@CasualBuilds]

i added more support afterwards to the ends of each platform. cut them at a 45 and drilled into the wall.

[@dariuslavy3913]

I think I would have added one more chain.

[@MegaCm123456]

Didn't I see this his exact same video on the StudPack channel earlier?

[@chasekregor]

Hey man what boots are those?

[@CasualBuilds]

Wolverine's, right off of Amazon

[@scottanderson691]

Love the project, love the video, just do me ONE small favor... Tell me where the hell you find actually straight 2x4's. Because Lowes, Menards, Home Depot, all of them have nothing but horribly warped pieces of trash and it's driving me nuts.😮‍💨

[@CasualBuilds]

Haha, seems I have better luck now since I moved to Colorado where there isn't so much moisture in the air that warps the hell out of them.

[@scottanderson691]

@@CasualBuilds man, I live in Iowa and it's ridiculous here! I can go through half a pallet and come away with three good boards if I'm lucky.

[@user-hx4ju8xm6k]

Nein. Das ist Scheiße.
