My parents did it exactly this way in 1994 and it's still perfect today. Not a lot of weight just bins and golf clubs etc etc

Thanks to sharing.

Thank you! 🙏

Thanks for watching!

Good idea. I am in need of making shelves in my garage to clean up floor space. Too many options in my head right now. Also want to use what I have too.

[@DIYdilly]

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it. I also don’t like clutter on the floor. Check out some of my other videos, I built other storage shelves/racks to declutter.

[@Claps1775]

@@DIYdilly I will do that.

How much would you charge for this materials excluded. For 3 …10” x 18 x 24 shelves

Curious, how much weight the roof can carry, is it safe or bad to use the wall stud for support instead of roof. I am plannnig to have an angled (45 degree) support to wall studs.

[@DIYdilly]

This was definitely a concern, especially when I put the storage rails up. But after some research, my ceiling is rated to hold more weight because there is a second floor above it. Ceilings with a roof above it cannot hold as much weight as the framing is designed to hold what is needed. I’d recommend doing research on how much weight your specific ceiling might be able to hold based off of what’s above it. Good luck with your project!

Wood is not strong in tension. Replace vertical boards with threaded rods. Replace board screwed to ceiling with unistrut. Feel free to put a LOT of weight on shelves built like that.

[@DIYdilly]

I appreciate the insight, great idea!

[@SunnySunny-lr8zg]

how much weight my ceiling can hold? I was planning to have 45 degree connection to vertical wall studs, instead of connecting to the roof.

[@MeltingRubberZ28]

@SunnySunny-lr8zg my ceiling is 2x10s and I'm engaged with probably 20 of them. A lot.

@@MeltingRubberZ28 Sorry, I was not trying to challenge your observation, I am trying to learn, as I am planning to do this on this summer. The garage is finished, other than using a stud finder, I dont have much option to see how is the roof?

[@MeltingRubberZ28]

@SunnySunny-lr8zg can you get into the attic and measure the size of the beams?
