Garage Shelving
.
Design and construction of storage shelving in a small garage.
Plans
Shelving was designed to make use of limited space in a small 1920s garage designed in the era of Model T Ford cards, not today’s large SUVs. The design makes the most of available space while navigating around plumbing and heating (when the house was built, cars of that era needed to be warmed up before starting). Rather than storing a car, the garage is now used for storage of tools, ample bicycles, and other items. The concrete walls provided a challenge for mounting the shelving. Powder-actuated fasteners used to drive nails into the concrete, in combination with strategically-placed legs, provided the necessary support and attachment.
Actual
The shelving was completed June 2025.
