Love the use of metal to support the shelves. Still like your smaller ones where you fix the shelf heights simultaneously

The angle iron is a great idea. These shelves are super sturdy, cost efficient, simple to build, and easy to customize. 👍

Love it. Now if we could just have an empty garage to build it in! Ours is full to the gills!❤

Built one similar, in mechanical room of my last house. 12' long. Lived there 14 years. Works. Good-n-sturdy.

Great video Ana. I love this channel I get some builds from here and customize them. Thanks for putting up content. 👍🏾

you would gain rigidity if you flipped the angle iron so that the flat was resting on the 2x4. alternatively you could cut a notch into the 2x4 to allow the angle iron to drop down. by not supporting the downward load you are just pulling out the screws since the angle iron will want to twist. you could also just shore under the shelving with something 7/8 thick. if the shelving isn't being supported it will bow as well. depending on where and how much the rest of the components flex, the shelves may suddenly drop.

I don't know why I never thought of that. I build stuff with angle iron all the time. Great idea.

I built something similar for my sister's garage... they are sturdy! You can put full sized totes and it is still there today!

Ana I first need a 20’ garage! Haha! I’ll stick with my smaller “Ana White” version that I built years ago that is still perfectly in tact! Thank u Ana, u are wonderful 🤗👍😊

Ana, this came right on time as I was thinking I need more storage space. I guess that means great minds think alike! Thanks for Sharing! 🙃🙂

You’ve got a beautiful shop. I wish mine was as big as yours then I could build more of your projects.

[jimysker]

to anyone going to build this. you should use wood screws since that's what your biting into. unless you don't predrill which you would then do well to use self tapping. best of luck

❤😊hope you are far away from flooding that happened there in Alaska 😊

Any idea what the weight capacity is? Gives the side eye to all my canning jars

[childofnewlight]

How much of the cost was the angle iron? I wonder if you could save money by switching to 3/4" plywood and forget the angle iron altogether. Then again, I don't know what you're storing on it.

That’s not a garage that’s a frickin warehouse

Metal angle is obviously the key to this design but ... steel or aluminium or either? I assume steel but you don't actually say anywhere, here or in the plans.
