Quick Garage Storage Shelf from 2x4s

 

I've been trying to get my workshop in the barn, and the rest of the barn, really, organized a bit. I knew I needed some storage shelves so I came up with this quick plan to make some out of 2x4s. This was a quick, easy project that I got done in a day or two working an hour here and there.

Materials List: 

QTY 11 - 2x4x8 #2 pine

QTY 112 - 2-1/2 inch wood screws

Cardboard for shelf covers

IMPORTANT ADDED INFO:
So I was told that if the shelf is going to hold heavy materials, it should have some cross-bracing to make sure the unit doesn't start leaning to one side and eventually crash over. Valid. So you can add a long 2x4 going from corner to corner across the back, but I decided to use two gate anti-sag kits I had laying around. These will allow adjustment (if the shelf starts leaning to one side or the other over time) and also is low profile (so you don't have another 2x4 across the back). Here are pictures of the anti-sag kit additions and how the finished shelf looks.
