Want a Storage rack that is rather inexpensive and can last as long as those you see in hardware stores? Well here is a DIY guide on building that exact type for your house at a low cost.

Things Needed<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/address>\n
what you will need.<\/address>\n
– Steel Bars:<\/address>\n
4×5 feet<\/address>\n
8x2feet<\/address>\n
8×3 feet<\/address>\n
– Plywood: (usually comes in 8×4 feet)<\/address>\n
cutting it to size, you will get the following<\/address>\n
3ftx2ft = 4pcs<\/address>\n
2ftx2ft =2pcs (you wont be using it)<\/address>\n
– Also approximately 70 bolts and nuts<\/address>\n
– a wrench (or if you are lazy then a porta drill with a wrench attachment and another wrench to hold the other end tight<\/address>\n
– a mallot or hammer<\/address>\n

\"\"<\/dt>\n
Cross-member Installation<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/address>\n
step 1:<\/address>\n
– make sure the 2 5ft bars have their holes alligned. if not, you will need to adjust them to fit (the holes are not round so they can move about)<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
step 2:<\/address>\n
– for the highest point on first but hand tighten everything. (ensure there is a little gap on the top so the wooden bottoms have a place to sit.)<\/address>\n
– then connect the lowest point of the rack the same way. check to ensure it is balanced. (how far apart you want them is totally up to you.<\/address>\n
– proceed with the other 2 bars.<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
step 3:<\/address>\n
– do the same for the other 2 5ft bars.<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
\n
\n
\"\"<\/dt>\n
3ft Bar Connection (how to place the bolts)<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/address>\n
step 4:<\/address>\n
– bolt on the 3ft bars to one of the sides<\/address>\n
– make sure both sides are on.<\/address>\n
– to connect the 3ft bar, bolt on one bolt to the side and one to the top to ensure it is stable<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
\n
\n
\"\"<\/dt>\n
Completed Shelf<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/address>\n
Step 6:<\/address>\n
– stand the shelf up and ensure everything is straight. use a mallot and lightly tap the places that need adjustments.<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
Step 7:<\/address>\n
– tighten everything<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
step 8:<\/address>\n
– insert the planks into the shelves carefully (this is the hard part) they will fit snugly.<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
Estimate Price:<\/address>\n
Steel Bars: RM15 Per 10 Feet<\/address>\n
9mm PlyWood (8Ftx4Ft): RM40<\/address>\n
Bolts & Nuts: RM0.70<\/address>\n
Workmanship to cut to size: RM10<\/address>\n
