Good morning, April! Wow! Talk about a home being "decked out!" This is a great addition to your deck. Not only can you store your outdoor tools, but you can have a nice, dark, quiet, out of the way place to nap without people bothering you!😂😂 Excellent project! Have a great week!

Finally, I’ve seen too many under deck storage possibilities but rarely does someone make them functional

Love the idea of the 2x4 sandwich as a cheaper alternative to the slides. Feels like the drawer tracks are always the most challenging/expensive part so great to learn the simpler method!

Seeing April 'roll' out in the shelf really made my

I think what I envy the most about the projects you've shown lately - especially this series - is how much help you have. A second (or third!) pair of hands is so useful sometimes!

Another great vid. It all looks great.

That's just brilliant April!! Look at all of that space under that huge deck!! You could get a hammock in there!! 😂

[BearCreekWoodworking]

What a great idea for extra storage! You’re a master at adding storage to unused areas April. This reminds me of the toe kicks of your kitchen cabinets. Awesome Idea! Cool Video!

I am already using the space under my deck as storage but have been wondering for the longest time how to waterproof the section not covered by the porch. This gives me some great ideas! Thanks, April!

The little red squirrels in my yard would absolutely love that for storing pine cones :)

That's a great idea !!! I'm getting ready to refurbish our deck and I would love to add some drawers like this for horse tack and such. Always a pleasure to watch your videos ma'am, thank you for sharing your time and knowledge !!!

Great you've just made my deck cost go up! This is an amazing idea I'm thinking more so toy storage for all the kids toys!! Maybe even one for cushions for deck chairs!! The possibilities are endless

Absolutely Genius!
Excellent Construction, and Craftsmanship!
Well done!

[briankear]

Very clever! Especially the fact that it’s shielded from rain.

Kudos for providing a simple cheap option in addition to the nice (but expensive) option.

I’ve done this under my cottage few years ago, love it!

[evelynpasqua]

I just love it. It would be so cool to access to get the tools that you need without having to worry about getting wet from raining or getting burn from the sun. Thank you for showing us.

It seems like the perfect place to store 1 gallon bottles of Homebrew as they are fermenting... Awesome!

[ThomasG]

had never seen or heard of anything like this... as soon as I saw it it was definitely a "D'oh" moment ... it makes so much since once I saw it

I'm a licensed electrician. Have used unistrut for years. Had no idea you could buy trolleys for it. Thanks! That's amazing. Cheers.

April, this is simply amazing. What a wonderful use of wasted space.
