I would probably attach the shelf supports to the back 2x from the side attached to the wall instead of pocket screws.😊

[@rexseven6907]

I would recommend adding 2x4 pieces between the shelves attached to the front frame. It will transfer the weight from the shelves to the floor instead of the screws. I see builds like this all the time. You'd be shocked how much weight ends up on shelves. The screw are not enough.

[@slippinslidewayz]

Fun tip to make all your cheap and easy projects with pocket holes look nicer - 3/8" dowel rod. I use walnut because it's still cheap and has a contrasting color to pine. Tap it in with bit of wood glue and saw it off flush. It then looks like you went the extra mile even though you know you didn't. I did it to my fence, and while it was certainly overkill, it looks great and a few people have commented on it. Not to mention, those deck screws will never rust.

[@JoeMcFarlanesgoogle]

Agreed. Pocket hole plugs are a great finishing touch for any high traffic spots. Always worth the time

[@andrewtucker7990]

I would've framed it out on the back wall, also. Then, cut the 2×4's to fit between each shelf and placed them on the outside corners, and center if needed, depending the length of the shelves. That way you would have less sticking out and the weight would transfer to the floor. Would've required a little more time, notching the plywood, but would've looked better and made it stronger. It would take the stress off of the screws, which could shear over time, and put it in the actual wood. If I did it the way you did, and planned on leaving it like that forever, I would've used nails. Nails will bend with excess force, screws will break apart.

[@SuperCrowHeart]

It's a shelf. The amount of weight to shear the shank of two screws per joint with what...3 joints per shelf...I doubt he's going to be placing that much weight on them. If you're framing a house that's one thing. These are shelves.

[@andrewtucker7990]

@@SuperCrowHeart You're right. I wasn't meaning now, though. I was meaning years into the future. If the screws start to rust, then you would need to worry about it. Yea, that's fine for a shelf.

I really like that method. Never thought about attaching all the legs together to get square. I wouldn’t use pocket holes though. It’s probably fine and it looks good but pocket screws don’t have brad the sheer strength of nails.

[@jareid82]

You could use construction screws for better sheer strength. Shelving is a good spot for screws so you can dismantle them if needed, and the sheer strength of normal screws should still well exceed the shelf load. Sheer strength is important to consider for structural loads, but shouldn't be a limiting factor here.

[@davidheywood3611]

A lesson I learned many years ago. In a shop or a garage floor space is everything. You should hang your shelves from the ceiling. I found 1 inch by 3/16 flat bar hung from the rafters to support your 2x4 frames works the best. The flat bar can hold any weight you put on it and it doesn’t get in the way when loading the shelves.

[@handymanreality]

The rafters were not engineered to hold such loads, so, know what you are doing before attaching to structural components.

Idk where this is shot but in most places above the frost belt you have to use pressure treated wood for ground contact on cement. Also, premeasure your floor to stud height. If your floors aren't level your preframing could be for naught.

@Rasmus Adolfsson in upstate ny you do. The moisture at ground level is different than even a foot above it. The wicking capillary effect is real. Using pt lumber stops your studs from rotting out at the floor line. Not to mention that if you get a flood you're screwed if you don't.

I have used this design several times. The last ones I built were made of scrap 2x4s I had when I tore down old projects at my old house and took with me to my Newhouse. Simply painted the wall, painted the 2x4s, and I used the thicker GRK screws with the flanged head! The shelving I bought new, 1/2” particle board. The great thing about this design is, I needed the bottom shelf to be a couple inches higher, I simply unscrewed the bottom shelf, and the front and back horizontal 2x4s and reinstalled them at the desired height. I also made these shelves using 2x3s. Issue was I bought the Home Depot 2x3s and it took a long time to find straight ones.

The screws going into the ledgers via pocket hole are supporting all that weight as a shear load. Build a box frame for the shelves and rest it on the ledger (which should be nailed not screwed unless you are using structural screws). The shelf will be able to support a lot more weight this way and you won't be relying on the shear of a screw (bad) for support.
