DIY Hanging Storage Shelves with Sliding Doors - Overhead Garage Storage

[@AnotherSideCharacter]

Bro! I ain’t gonna lie but this was probably the most easiest how too and diy wood crafting video for me to understand. Great video it really helped me visualize another way to make a carcass

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

Awesome! Glad it was helpful

[@billy.bright]

This is exactly what I was looking for. I want everything in my garage concealed. No open shelving where things collect dust. But the best thing about this design is that with price of wood being so high right now this design will save you money over building regular style cabinets. Good job!

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

Thanks Billy! I appreciate that!!!

[@User7039]

Great build.

[@cwhitmore88]

Thanks for creating this video. I was looking for some storage ideas in a nook in my garage. I followed your video and got it installed in a few days. I will say that when I was cutting the dados my saw ran into a knot which messed up my cut so I just flipped the board over and cut the other side. Worked out well. Much appreciated!

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

Heck yeah! Glad it was helpful and you got some extra storage now!!!

[@georgevalenzuela2489]

Nicely done!

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

Thanks!

[@timhalleran3514]

Great video!!!

Amazing video. I wish I saw this sooner. Thanks for the DIY insight!

[@uncabro]

so smart way to mount it, thank you sir

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

Thanks!!!

[@engieerslider8117]

Good job, I might try that. I think I can do all but the sliding doors. I'm sure you've had plenty of practice.

[@twotopsturning6493]

It looks like you put alot of thought into how to put that together. And it came together nicely 👍

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

Thank you! Yea I have been thinking about this one for a while and wanted to do it right.

Great idea Jess. I always learn something from your videos. Peace!

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

Thank you so much! I appreciate your support and Im glad we can all learn something from one another!

Thanks for your sharing, I would like to ask what kind of screws/fasteners you are using (are they grk?) since I saw you rarely use clamp to tighten the woods. Thanks

[@cohens1002ify]

Looking to do the same thing. Enjoyed the video, however, looking for shelves that are two-tier with the sliding doors.

[@scottfiegehen5014]

Great job!

Thanks for the great video Gave me some great ideas for building some storage cabinets for my small basement workshop All out of a couple of 2x4s and some cheap plywood Thanks again and keep well

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

Thanks Edy and thanks for your support!!!

[@FredMcIntyre]

Awesome job! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

Thanks Fred! It added some much needed storage

[@keyshey]

Nice and easy instructions! Thanks! How much weight do you think this can handle? I'm hoping to build one for storage but at the same time to hang my bikes underneath it with a railing and some hooks.

[@AbhikarnSingh01JN]

GOOD JOB

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

Thanks!

[@rickbach5707]

Great build, going to use your concepts for our garage as well. Have watched your video and gone through the description and comments but you stated 1/2 plywood in the beginning, and 3/4 when screwing down the base. I am guessing 1/2 because you have 1/2 inch datos for the door fronts and it would then be level. Just wanted to confirm. Thanks!

[@Jeff_Eats_Local]

Very clever build! Great use of space!

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

Thanks friend! 👊👊👊

[@bloop6812]

Question Sir what type of screws were you using, torx head deck screws or what eould you recommend Thanks for your response.😊

[@blake4073]

Really nice work. Curious if you need to have any components of your garage door removed and repaired is there enough room to do so?

[@LifenaDay525]

Was wanting to know the same thing as all garage doors are not made the exact same size.

[@joshargabright9484]

Did you use structural screws to hand the ledger board and overhead board? I was hoping to see a lag bolt instead of 3” screws. Nice work though.

[@alfredtorres2724]

I really enjoy all your to do videos but I have a question about your above garage shelves but in my garage I have cinder blocks above my garage door any suggestions on how I can do the shelves

[@rkerby6375]

Amazing! Thank you for this super cool build!

Thanks Robert! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

Thanks friend! I appreciate your support as always!

[@jeaninepayne9303]

Great video. Someone mentioned a concern about potential repair on your garage door spring. Would those cabinets need to come down if that happened? Only ask cuz my garage door just had that happen and it was right before a rainstorm that the door got stuck open! Also, what nail gun were you using?

[@mikesimmons7539]

Very nice , great job . Ever built a flip top tool cart ?

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

Thanks! No, I have dove into one of those yet.

[@pithaughn]

Hi. I'll be happy if mine are half as nice. What did you end up storing,

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

Everything! Hahaha all my hunting and fishing gear mostly

[@seancraig7883]

Excellent. What amount of weight seems safe? I have a garage with exceptionally high ceiling and am curious know if there’s a rating for lbs per sq for of space hanging from the ceiling , will it make a difference if the ceiling to my garage is the floor to second story ?

[@Meme-zc4cw]

Would using lags to attach the 2x4 to the roof substantially increase the holding power?

[@TheMindverse]

These look absolutely perfect for what I want. Most other shelving is far to shallow, these look nice and deep. I know anything can be customized, but are there dimensions available as a starting point for a beginning/intermediate guy like me?

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

Man, off the top of my head I don’t remember dimensions. Check the description to see if I put anything down there

[@jeffforbes3772]

Very cool and timely. We just moved and I'm needing extra storage in the garage and was thinking along these lines. Are you concerned that the doors may bind due to expansion of the 2x4's and skewing those grooves? Thanks for posting.

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

Thanks man! I made sure that the dados were pretty wide for the 1/4” ply to have room. I’m not overly concerned with as much room as they have.

[@stat11]

Great video. I believe I am going to work off of your design. I went to your website and the step by step tutorial isn’t listed on your site. Could you help me out with that?

[@alexandergavrilov2566]

This looks awesome! I'm thinking of doing the same, but also doing same kind of shelving along the walls of the garage top to bottom. It would have to be a lot shallower (probably about 20 inches) so the cars can still be parked, with overhanging top part. What do you think?

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

Yeah man, should work great! These added a ton of storage!

[@garrettgiuffre5653]

Did you burn them in or did you pre-drill the screw holes

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

Burned them in!

[@georgeramos3632]

Better hope the garage door tension spring doesn’t need replacement……you’ll have to remove the cabinets…

[@cheryltaylor1322]

Hi, can u tell me what measuring angle u used to measure ur 1/4, 1/4, 1/4? Thank you

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

I think it was a woodpeckers delve square

[@tinywoodshop5491]

Pretty cool!

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

Thanks! Be perfect for a tiny woodshop! 😁😉

[@michaeljenkins5421]

Do you have a list of materials you use

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

Should be in the description section

[@markfutato7547]

Great video. I want to reproduce this for storing drying logs. I am out of space.

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

That’s a great use for it! Thanks!

[@zacksgaragedoorserviceandr1208]

Very good job on how you install everything just to let you know I do garage door motor so just let you know your emergency release rope and handle it is tied off wrong so if you want to fix that that will be good I can’t tell if the handle is upside down or not so make sure you get that fixed and put the proper knot On it normally a half hitch on each end of the rope is perfect and if it’s too long cut it burn the end of the rope and put 1/2 hitch knot on it and it will look good

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

Thanks Zach and I’ll definitely take a look at that! 👊👊👊

[@MrGeroth]

Good job, but had you given any thought to lighting? I did the same thing down both sides, as well as the front. I didn’t have enough room over the doors.

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

It did darken some areas on that side of the shop. I’m thinking of finding something simple (maybe even battery operated LED’s) to hang under them. Great question because it’s something to definitely consider

[@billballeza377]

What do figure these shelves will hold weight wise?

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

I would have no idea. I haven’t heard of any failure stories though

[@alexandergavrilov2566]

Sorry, one more question - you could've also used a router to cut the grooves for the sliding doors, right? (Not a woodworker, sorry!)

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

Yes sir!

[@glennwalsh5636]

What wood do Japanese use?

[@danieleickenhorst6545]

Which pocket hole jig were you using?

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

That’s the armor tool one. It’s pretty good for beginners but after a while you will want to upgrade to the K-2 Kreg

@@PenaltyBoxWoodshop Awesome, thanks for the quick reply.

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

[@familystupakis229]

Thanks for sharing and nicely done…although not sure why you use the large wood dimensions. It’s completely overbuilt. Why not 2X2’s, 1/2” plywood, 1”X4” trim pieces (or 1X6 instead of 2x6 on the side)…etc? What you built can probably handle 10+ times the weight of what you would ever put there. Having said that - thanks again for sharing!

If you need to replace the garage door spindle spring in the future, you will know that this space is not suitable for use.

[@alexandergavrilov2566]

Did you not want to bother with the little bit of space in between the shelves? Seems like you could've built a short one in-between above the garage door opener rod, no?

Hey Jesse, enjoyed your youtube video on DIY hanging storage shelves. I have a particular question for you. Can you send your email address. I have a .pdf file to share with you. Ed

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

Hey Ed, thanks! [e-mail]

[@RichardRecupero]

Awesome but all I thought about was. I would build that thing on the ground.

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

😂 Fair enough but the point is to have storage without taking up floor space

[@capti443]

Building it on the ground would make it easier in assembly, but it would be a bear to lift the finished cabinets up to the ceiling and snake it above the garage door rails. IMO, building it in place is the way to go, but think through sub-assemblies.
