Interesting build, but I suggest strengthening where you attach the angled 2x4 to the garage wall. You have only one bolt going into the stud wall but it is very close to the top edge of the 2x4. Any heavy weight and the 2x4 could split and the shelf will come down.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah I've kept an eye on it. So far I have less then 100 pounds on each shelf. It can hold my body weight fine. But if it start to sag at all I'll had something

[@kraighawkins2919]

Nice job. I like the angle supports instead of vertical on the corners. Makes it look more open and smaller. I may tackle this in a few weeks in my garage.

[@vanessawatson6788]

Just completed one side... now my husband wants me to do the other. Thank you for the idea!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Nice! We love these! Been very useful for random things!

[@amill1563]

Now you have a place to sleep when you have an argument.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

haha I do fit nicely up there!

[@paperboychris5390]

Great video. Nice job utilizing all your space

[@Static_MK3Focus]

I may actually look into this! Gives me a place to put more stuff 🤣🤣

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Definitly a good project to free up space!

[@bwrugger]

dude, well done. I wish had a garage as neat and open as yours.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Thanks! What size garage do you have?

[@erikstrieter4233]

Was looking for vids for hanging shelf’s but I like these better.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah I thought about the hanging metal ones. But the nice ones would have been like $300. More fun to built it like this and was super cheap

[@SantanaKIlledYa]

Just finished mine followed the video to a T, thanks man they came out great!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Awesome! We still really like them. Been super usable!

[@davidnilles3117]

Great job y’all. What a great use of otherwise useless space. 👍

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Thanks! Yeah it really freed up a lot! And now when I'm filming in the garage, things look way cleaner!

[@laurenmorley6691]

Love it!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Came out good ;)

[@sebastianvettel1000]

Good job folks

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Thanks!

[@sayanchaudhury3728]

This is awesome. I am planning to do something like this, and this is going to help me a lot. Thanks for putting all the info.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Glad it was helpful! These have been super useful!

[@AntLive29]

Great idea!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Thanks!

[@625jeffrey]

Awesome shelves. Im doing the same thing

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Thanks! I really like them. Been very handy!

[@iCozzh]

Great video

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Thanks!

[@bordeauxdogred]

Nice motorcycle 😉

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Thanks ✌️

[@TheBrookerFamily]

I would recommend buying a pocket hole jig! Great build.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

For what?

[@TheBrookerFamily]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed pocket holes provide stronger joints, a better looking finish, and won’t split wood. It’s perfect for this type of project.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@TheBrookerFamily Drilling pilot holes would do the same! Being above the garage, not too important for that! Inside the house I could see!

[@alchingon]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed grab some new drills while getting the bits. Lol cool idea btw. Would’ve never thought of storing stuff up there.

[@NissanAltimaGuy]

Very good home diy project thank you for sharing!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Thanks! Came out really good and the garage is so much more usable!

[@javi10872006]

Probably would’ve painted it before mounting but overall great job. I wonder if I could build something like this but with vertical supports to the ceiling and use it to store my spar elumber

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

It was easy enough to paint once done honestly. But very helpful shelves! I've sure you could make a support to the ceiling

[@arkadandfortuna1582]

Great job! I’m curious to know if ther is ample space to do any maintenance/repairs on the drive chain unit. Other than that, it’s awesome!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

If I had to replace the garage door springs, I'd probably just remove the shelves. Easy enough to do if I had to do that. Garage door motor and chain are all perfectly accessible

[@Aydansmamma]

​@BrosFOURRSpeed - How much weight do you think this would hold? Also, Love the video instruction!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

With everything bolted in, I would assume a couple hundred pounds! I could hang from it, it’s pretty solid in the studs!

[@amill1563]

I always thought it would be nice to have a lift in the garage to make things easier.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah one day I want a lift! Next house for sure I'll be doing that!

[@user-cr2ng8bp1l]

great stuff!!! Was there anything that required you to make them that wide or could they have been wider?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I just made them the size of a piece of plywood basically. Cut the plywood in half length wise and fit it since the garage tracks.

[@ricespecialist]

Can u suggest how to make the doors to a solve like this Mariapaula Steel Height -Adjustable Shelving Unit

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

You can probably just make wood doors. Heres a video where I made doors for our closet and laundry room. kzbin.info/www/bejne/foCqmGive5mUnac kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGetl4mFeNCcjK8

[@CHDZ09]

What kind of horse and 2x4 holder are you using at the 1:22min mark? Could you provide info on it?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

amzn.to/3PxlDq5 Here yah go!

[@catherineb.gendron2183]

I'm thinking to something like this, but on the other side. Do you think it is safe to use it if somebody open the door while you are in the lader ?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

You wouldn't want to have the latter at these and open the door. You'll get hit. With the door closed is when you would put stuff up there or take it down.

[@carinrichardson]

Could you make this wider? I have a square roof rack for my car that needs to be stored

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah you can make this however best fits your space. I basically did half a sheet of plywood and it worked for what I needed

[@firstlast-yn4qg]

with typical door springs that would prevent winding/unwinding them.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Maybe. But if I have an issue with the springs I can easily un bolt these and fix the door and then reinstall them.

[@JohnDoe-mp1zk]

@@BrosFOURRSpeedI don’t think you have a typical spring

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@JohnDoe-mp1zk Doesn’t look like it. I’m not too worried about

[@TzUuup]

​@@BrosFOURRSpeednah you have a torquesmaster. That shelf will not be in the way. I just changed my springs out

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@TzUuup that’s cool to know for long term

[@mileslynch]

Who else noticed his wife on the shelf

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

haha your the first comment on that!

[@omahaikk2191]

Angular torque not a good idea! Your weight will put more stress to the 2 outmost screws held by the wall through side supports. Better to have it held straight up to ceiling, of course, to a stud.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah I thought of that. But thats why I did the big bolts through the 2x4 into the studs behind the wall

[@thomasdataanylist]

this is bros fourr speed out of context

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Lots of people like home renovation projects. Plus this was garage related.

[@Copt774]

Easier to paint before it all goes up, no? Not sure if thered be a concern in doing so thats why i ask.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Honestly just as easy to paint after. Won't really make a difference

[@imaqtee1]

How tall are the ceilings?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

10 ft

[@murderbeam9614]

With where you mounted it, you basically bought an engagement ring to that Wayne Dalton Brokemaster. You're going to be having the WD techs come put new springs in that bad boy every 3 years lol, no torsion conversion for you.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

What?? This doesn’t effect the garage door in any way.

[@RealityChecker864]

Congratulations, you just created a garage door repairman nightmare. Just wait until the springs fail and need to be replaced.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

This won’t interfere at all. My dad actually just had to replace the springs on his and storage up above won’t hinder that job as he just did it.

[@jjhewi10]

Why the ear muffs?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

So I don’t go deaf. Why not protect your hearing?

[@thomasdataanylist]

Ugh definitely forget this video

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

You don't like improving your garage?

@@BrosFOURRSpeed nope because I'm not an adult lol

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@thomasdataanylist haha good reason! When your older you’ll value better home storage solutions 😅
