garage shelves

Dear NG,

I'm looking for a winter project (after I rebuild my Gravely tractor of course!). I want to build some shelves in my new garage - permanent shelves along a wall. I would like to hide the clutter with some doors of some type. The doors don't have to be anything elaborate. They might be hinged and the size of a full sheet of OSB that swing open and provide access to all the junk. The other thought that I had was something a bit more eloborate such as a door that might open vertically over each individual shelf compartment and slide back into the shelf out of the way. I was hoping I might be able to pick your brains for some ideas. Pictures help a lot!

Mike

Well, this isn't quite what you are looking for, but I recently moved into a place at the Delaware shore on the Atlantic ocean. Needed something that would not rust, etc. I opted for three of the Black and Decker pre-fab, knocked down plastic cabinets. You can bolt them to the wall for extra strength. A little trouble with sagging shelves (will deal with that with some 1x2 pine and dry wall screws). Keep clutter out of the way nicely. I still have tool boards near the workbench. Got a spare kitchen cabinet under the workbench for some other stuff.

I'm a fan of those wire shelves they sell at HomeDepot.

Sturdy, don't sag, easy to install, pre-painted, and, I can't buy equivalent wood for shelves that cheap.

I had forgotten about the wire shelves, though I do have some of those. I put stuff in those big clear plastic boxes, so I can see what I have. Also, a small bolt cutter (1 is a lifetime supply) is the easiest way to cut the wire shelving. A hacksaw is a PITA.

I'd posted a while back looking for options for garage shelving. I still can't find the restaurant style wire shelving that I really want anywhere for a reasonable price. However, I did discover that Lowe's sells the 1000 lb. rated steel/MDF shelves for about $70 a unit so that may be the way to go for me.
