How to Build Garage Wall Cabinets
Cabinets can help add space and storage capacity to almost any room. Your garage is no exception. In fact, most people use their garage as an extra storage room. Adding cabinets can help to keep the items in your garage organized and safe. Luckily, building wall cabinets for your garage is a simple process.
Items Needed:
- Power Saw
- Measuring tape
- Nails
- Hammer
- Wood
- Measure the area where you will place the cabinets. It is important to obtain exact measurements before you begin construction. It is always disheartening when you complete your cabinets only to find they do not fit in their designated space. Use a tape measure and obtain the width and length of the area where you will want to place the cabinet.
- Use the power saw to cut the wood into appropriately sized pieces. You will need to exercise extreme caution when using a power saw. When cutting the wood, use a slow and steady forward motion to move the saw through the wood.
- Attach the sides of the cabinet to the back piece. Place the piece of wood that will serve as the backing of your cabinet on the ground. You will need to hammer the sides onto this piece. Nails should be evenly spaced from the top of the cabinet to the bottom of the cabinet. Remember, the location of the nails is more important than the number of nails. Ensure that your nails are evenly spaced along the side of the cabinet.
- Attach the cabinets to the wall of your garage. Use screws to fasten the cabinets to the wall of your garage. Once the cabinets are secure, you may attach doors to the front of your cabinets. If you desire a specific look for your cabinets, then you should purchase specially made doors. However, if you have no preference for cabinet doors, then you may use your leftover pieces of wood as doors. Simply use a hinge joint to secure the doors in place on the front of the cabinets.
