I can never watch enough videos on storages ideas around shelving, thanks!

A perfect build is a balance among material (including fasteners), cost and time -- oh, and aesthetic! For hanging shelves of your size in my mind I'd rip 2x4s for the shelf frame bottoms instead of using 2x3s. Less weight and less cost if you can rip. Using sheet goods for the shelving I think they'd be plenty strong. Shorter construction screws then -- or one could even use drywall screws. If you're worried about trolls or critical neighbors, then just paint the tops gold after you sink them! LOL Also, I suppose one could just paint the thread rod instead of using painted tubing as covers. Just some feedback. Good luck with the bench!

Great job on this "new" garage! Wondering if you added large washers on the bottoms of the shelves before you added the nut?

Nice work on these shelves! Really like the clean look. I built similar shelves and used PEX tubing to cover the threaded rods, but I like the PVC option you chose as well.

I didn't see any detail about how you attached the threaded rods to the ceiling joists. How was that done?

I bought one of those chamfer bits for bolts and it barely was able to chamfer a wooden dowel for Christ's sake.

you could have bought grey pvc conduit instead of painting white pvc pipe. these do look like nice shelves i have wall about 16 inches high and sticks into garage about 8 inches all around garage makes regular shelves a pain. in past i have used heavy duty rails with double clip-on shelf brackets to build adjustable height heavy duty shelves but they are only good for about 16 inches max and are kinda expensive for the rails and brackets this might be cheaper and more versatile they use threaded rod to hold huge heavy equipment at work hanging off unistruts with double nuts so this should be plenty strong.

Scott, great series on shelving. I have a finished room over my garage and I do not have access to the rafters. I have 11' tall ceilings. I am planning on building shelves that are 7' long by 6' tall. How would you recommend attaching to the ceiling?

If you are using 3/8” threaded rod, I would drill appropriate 3/8 holes in 2x4’s and then counter sink a washer and nut for each one along with thread lock. Then attach the 2x4’s with the threaded rods hanging down through the drywall and rafters above using lag bolts. You want the 2x4’s perpendicular to the rafters. This is what I would do. Keep in mind that I am just a DIYer and not an engineer.

What do you use for heat in the winter

Any worries about the weight being supported by the trusses at all or is it irrelevant with the shelves being near the walls?

@ScottsGarage17 7 ай бұрын

I am only a DIYer and not an engineer. I personally haven't had any problems. I am also not placing super heavy objects on the shelves.

Yes, not looking for any guarantees on the design. Just a new homeowner trying to navigate my way through all the info that tends to be “clear as mud” for newbies haha (currently reading up on storage limitations of various garage trusses if you can tell). Appreciate you sharing both your design and your experience with me. I enjoy the videos!

Looks great, thanks Scott!

@@ryanweeks9546 your limiting factor on weight is most likely going to be the material you use to put the items on. The rod, truss, etc will be strong than that.
