Introduction: Long-lasting and Cheap Shelving System for Garage or Storage From Interior Depot Materials

We definite to organize a better service department with labelled boxes and level bes capacity shelves. Just before covid-19 lockdown, we went to IKEA to attend for garage shelves and found these shaky gold things for 12 EUR. They would not hold flatbottomed one of the boxes I throw. Another mutually exclusive is to grease one's palms a crazy big-ticket 606 shelving organisation operating room something similar (they have as wel similar shelves at IKEA).

However, don't get Pine Tree State wrong, I like a lot of things about IKEA user experience, but information technology is not always the best result for everything.

Yet another alternative is to think up something durable and cheap using readily available materials at the Home Storehouse. Therefore, this is it. IT is made from metal-looking profiles commonly used for drywalling and few screws and corners.'

I strongly believe that it is important to send complete items in clearly labeled boxes, other than, these items power Eastern Samoa comfortably non exist in your inventory or garage. I too sometimes name totally my inventory in Evernote or Impression note-attractive apps indeed that I can find things even quicker. In future, I am planning to replace cardboard boxes with plastic ones, but nevertheless labelling should personify perceptible on each box with appropriate colour in coding.

Supplies

Dimensions of profiles can glucinium weighted to your needs, I think the main input from this instructable is the method itself.

1. 12x 400 metal profiles (for drywalls), 6 for sides, 2 for middle and 4 for ribs for shelves (dimensions 60x25x3000mm)

2. 3x UD medal profiles for each shelve to make 3 "planks" away connection 2 of them (dimension 100x30x3000mm),
in my case 21 UD metal profiles

3. 300x 1cm self-drilling metal screws

4. 200x 5cm self-oil production metal screws

5. 3mm metal drill, 5mm drill for a bulwark + 9 dow

6. Leveler

7. Riveter for middle part (50 rivets)

8. Angle grinder

9. Galvanising drill

Step 1: Step 1: Prepare Parts

Name of materials given in the supplies section of this instructable.
Mark multiple profiles immediately exploitation a mark, then contract them using an angle grinder with a cutting disk. Large UD profiles must be stuck inside each other to var. a strong "plank" that does not deform when a force is applied on top of it. Cut all of these UD planks to a length of 1500mm (exactly half of the original 3000mm length) Cut smaller parts in your chosen breadth depending on how wide of the mark holes you lack in between plans for to each one shelve - in my case, it was approximately 70mm to hold 300*250*450mm boxes. In unconditioned 5 per all shelve. I also cut multiple profiles at once to save time.

Step 2: Measure 2: Piece Put together Sides

Using small someone-drilling screws (1cm) pieced together sides of the shelves. I used 5 per joint to make sure they hold strong, but less mightiness also exercise.

Whole step 3: Stride 3: Piece Together Middle Part

First, using screws join the metal corners and then exploitation rivets and ribs to the corners before placing it in the construction.
Rivets are wont to invalidate screw heads when argentiferous "planks" are laid over the ribs, but screws with flat heads might also work just fine.
At this moment we tested out the initial construction with my helper 🙂

Step 4: Step 4: Attach Shelves to the Wall

Attach shelves to the wall firmly victimisation corners and dowels that are situated in the wall.
I used 9 attachments in absolute for the whole structure.

Step 5: Abuse 5: Attach to All-metal "planks" to the Ribs

Finally, space metal "planks" that are made of 2 inter-plugged UD metal profiles on the ribs, drill the holes using a metal practise in the top part of it, then use long 50mm person-drilling argentiferous screws to junction them together with the base structure.
