Having Fun with 2X4s: Poor man's Storage Shelf

Project by Bonjin1977 posted 146 days ago 481 views 0 times favorited 8 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Because our first baby comes within few weeks, I need to hurry up and complete my honey do list. I have tackle down organizing basement today. My wife suggested me to buy several storage shelves from Lowes… I found out that storage shelves are not cheap! It goes from cheaply made $35 to really nice $200. I decided to build one. Picked up 2 X 4s, and assemble together. It is not pretty but I paid little over $20. Does it strong enough to put tones on junks? Heck yes!

Doesn’t have to be prety, just functional.

Great job.

Building cheaply doesn’t mean that its built cheaply. Looks like you can use the shelf to stand on as well, see double function.

Looks good. It will definitely get the job done and looks like it could support a Chevy.

And when you’ve time to upgrade you have material that can be recycled into another project, unlike the plastic or tin ones you’d buy which would be thrown out. Nicely done.
