A) I can get the storage shelves I want for $300, plus tax. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-5-Tier-Industrial-Duty-Steel-Freestanding-Garage-Storage-Shelving-Unit-in-Black-90-in-W-x-90-in-H-x-24-in-D-N2W902490W5B/319132842B) Or buy lumber boards, and build one for $150.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLBl15hnt28&list=PLKnDtSMnSKEFT9xBAdw9vYQdHCqXrBUpk&index=31I got the tools, but I'm on a budget. I'm worried I will fail : ) What would you do?
>>2796500so you can't fucking make such a simple decision that you have to start a thread on an image board to choose? how pathetic
>>2796502OP wants to have a valid discussion. Go climb a fucking tree.
>>2796502You cant even answer a question, but you can go on an autistic rant. Oh, but I'm the pathetic one. Sure.
>>2796500watch the buy of the day. that shelf comes on sale about twice a month
>>2796504>hurr durr should I buy this or build that???>>>>shelf<<<<yeah real deep discussion
Gladly meet up teach you cunts some respect
>>2796500You understand what board you're on right? This isn't "buy it yourself"
>>2796500This depends on what you're storing. If it's a bunch of holiday decorations in totes and a few tools then go with the wooden diy build, if it's lots of heavy tools like saws and whatnot then go with the metal shelf because the wood will bow and possibly buckle over time under extreme constant weight and with humidity in the air it will warp over time. where is the shelf going? in a shed? in a garage? in a cooled insulated workshop? in a laundry or utility room? these things matter a lot
>>2796500>$150 in lumberyou know pallets are free right?
>>2796500You should check your local estate sales for shelves. I see this shit go out the door for around $50-$90 on avg. You gotta tear it down of course but thats ez
>>2796500>What would you do?not ask or post here about it.
>>2796532It's going into a garage. It'll hold like hoses, bags of shit, garage stuff : )
>>2796536Good idea
>>2796574Just buy off a deal.
I prefer to build. Mostly to fit the space and requirement perfectly. However when wood was silly and I desperately needed to organize my stuff after moving. I set up a lot of those cheap plastic shelves and ran boards between em. Extremely fast, moderately cost effective (at the time).
>>2797904Price has gone up a lot. Aint going to beat two off these and some scrap board for speed.https://www.walmart.com/ip/Hart-Black-Plastic-5-Tier-72-H-x-36-W-x-18-D-750lb-Total-Capacity/672562686?fulfillmentIntent=In-store&filters=%5B%7B%22intent%22%3A%22fulfillmentIntent%22%2C%22values%22%3A%5B%22In-store%22%5D%7D%5D&athbdg=L1102&from=/search
>>2796500lurk auctions and offer up craigslist. people give shelves like that for free just go and pick em up.
>>2796500I made one from an old bed frame layin in my yard it took me 2 hours
>>2796518this meme's so old it's getting hair in funny places
>>2796500what the are you gonna put on them? tp and bathroom shit weighs nothing and thats why you can get away with pressed sawdust
>>2796500That’s like $275 too expensive, my friend.Look for government surplus auctions in your area. Maybe check a yard sale?
>>2796500Smart play is buy used carts (U-boat dollies especially) as a rugged rolling base then weld up a frame or insertable shelves for them as you prefer. Remove the center axle bolt so you can push them sideways. Fixed shelving just accumulates shit and is hard to move and immobile loaded. I've lots of heavy auto and motorcycle parts/engines so my shelves either hang leaving the floor clear for easy cleanup or roll for easy reconfig and cleanup. Goal is nothing on a floor I cannot easily move.I buy surplus industrial carts for less than the steel would cost and prefer those fabbed from standard stock so I can cut and rearrange as I prefer. For example I've my Harley Panhead project on its own dolly for easy access from all sides.Shelves that roll are wonderful things. I use upward-facing angle to prevent shit rolling off and to hold the plywood I mostly use (steel sheet is fine too) for shelf boards. I place flat bar crossmembers (unwelded for future reconfig) as needed for specific load support.
>>2796500$150? More like $100, and you'd have a 3/4 sheet of OSB left over and a bunch of fasteners.Or use pallets and spend like $10 on fasteners.
>>2796500Keep an eye out for any closing restaurants in your area. I was able to snag 4 Uline epoxy wire shelves for 200 bucks and i just had to clean the grease off of them
