DIY Wall Mounted Shelves Garage

Having a garage is a great way to store your vehicles, tools, and other belongings. However, garages can often become cluttered and disorganized, making it difficult to find what you need. One way to improve the organization of your garage is to install wall-mounted shelves.

Wall-mounted shelves are a great way to store items off the floor, freeing up space and making it easier to access your belongings. They can also be used to store seasonal items, such as holiday decorations or sports equipment. Installing wall-mounted shelves is a relatively easy and inexpensive project that can be completed in a few hours.

Materials You Will Need

Plywood or MDF
2x4s
Wood screws
Wall anchors
Drill
Measuring tape
Level
Stud finder (optional)
Sandpaper
Paint or stain (optional)

Instructions

1. Cut the plywood or MDF to the desired size of the shelves. 2. Attach the 2x4s to the back of the plywood or MDF using wood screws. The 2x4s will act as supports for the shelves. 3. Drill pilot holes into the wall where you want to hang the shelves. 4. Insert the wall anchors into the pilot holes. 5. Screw the shelves into the wall anchors. 6. Use a level to make sure the shelves are level. 7. Sand the shelves and paint or stain them if desired.

Tips

If you are not sure where the studs are in your wall, use a stud finder to locate them.
Use a level to make sure the shelves are level before you hang them on the wall.
If you are storing heavy items on the shelves, be sure to use strong wall anchors.
You can add decorative trim to the shelves to give them a more finished look.
