I decided this weekend that the kids stuff is requiring a little more floor space in my garage so it was time to reclaim the corner where I store my snows. Tire Rack makes the exact shelf system I need but I was too cheap to pay $129.99 + shipping. $15 in lumber and fasteners and about 3 hours later: ![http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/photo-43.jpg](http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd75/jsears77/photo-43.jpg) Once it was mounted I did one pullup and figured if it could hold my fat ass the tires would be no problem. ---

i’d laugh if all that shit came crashing down once you tried the pullup. would make a great clip on America’s funniest home videos. nice job on managing your space though ---

:tup: Cheap and useful. Good job. I’ve always had a hard time spending money on shelving/work areas too. That stuff isn’t too hard to make yourself, and it’s fun to build as well. ---

Looks fantastic jay. 3 hours though??? I bet it’s perfect though. I just made a huge shelf for storage with 5 bucks in screws and 8 bucks for some angle joists for rigidity using junkyard wood (no really, it’s bad wood). It’s a 7’ wide, 3’ deep, 8’ tall 3 tier shelf and it’s hold ~2000 lbs of shit with minimal bowing on the shelves. To buy a good shelf that size would have been 500+. I love being cheap. ---

Three hours included 3 trips to Lowes because I’m better at building than adding. ---

I’m surprised that doesn’t end up bowing out more with that much distance between supports. I didn’t put a lot of thought into the design though, just took the tire rack one and duplicated it with wood. ![http://www.tirerack.com/images/product_images/accessories/ttr_tirestoragerack_black_600px.jpg](http://www.tirerack.com/images/product_images/accessories/ttr_tirestoragerack_black_600px.jpg) ---

I have the Michelin ones from Amazon…“free” using points. Holds 8 tires/wheels securely and has room to add down the line. ![https://scontent-lga1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpt1/v/t1.0-9/11181563_901636003227807_3286947564526559451_n.jpg?oh=04c3ad81dceb79ce5ebe3ca72bd77244&oe=5679158D](https://scontent-lga1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpt1/v/t1.0-9/11181563_901636003227807_3286947564526559451_n.jpg?oh=04c3ad81dceb79ce5ebe3ca72bd77244&oe=5679158D) ---
