Building a Garage Storage Wall

With just a day’s worth of work and some inexpensive materials, you can build a great shelf wall for storing and organizing some of the stuff in your garage in labeled plastic bins. All you need is a drill, framing square and tape measure, screws, masking tape and plywood sheets in a variety of different dimensions. Mark the points where the legs and rails will be connected, then screw the frame together while using the edges of the plywood to make sure everything is lined up properly. Then install your shelves and secure them to the wall.
