Garage Shelf Instructions

Description:
Shelves along side of 3 car garage.  Built in two sections....tall and short which seamlessly fit together.  Short section allows for garage door clearance.

Note: Shelves are shown with the MDF parts unpainted.  Eventually I will paint or seal the MDF to avoid damage by water.  MDF will soak up water and swell so paint should be applied.

The AUTOCAD dwg file contains all the dimensions.

Step 1 Preparation

Start with a nice clean work area.  Paint the wall as it will still be visible when the shelves are installed.

Materials:
    32 Doors made from MDF.
  
   16 Shelves made from MDF.  Round the corners as shown using router or saber saw.
    All shelves made to the exact same dimensions and mass produced.
   
    Shelf Framework made from 2x4 legs & 2x3 shelf supports

    Trim made from 1x4.  Trim mounted to legs and keeps leaf and dirt from getting under shelves.

    Legs: 4x4.  Cut different lengths to allow for uneven garage floor.

    Hinges: Stainless.

Can you add the dimensions for the various slots on the basic pieces?

I added all the dimensions in the attached AUTOCAD dwg file. If you don't have AUTOCAD you can download any number of free dwg file viewers from the internet.
