Building wooden shelves in a closet.

If you want deeper closet shelves you ll either need to stack boards together to make it wider or you ll need to buy a large sheet of 4 x 8 plywood and cut out the size you want. Our top shelves are 40 across the back of the closet. Place shelving pieces in the location you want to assemble them. Again don t forget the level.

If you are building straightforward shelves you also need to add wood supports along the back wall of the closet. Put wood glue on the diy brackets drill pilot hole near the back corner of pine wood board and diy shelving bracket. If you are making them for a closet assemble it inside the closet. Put all side diy pine shelving brackets on following steps 6 10 12.

Consider how deep you want them to be and what materials you ll need to buy in order to make them deeper. For example if your shelving material is a full 16 inches wide keep the top shelf at that width and rip the supporting partitions to 15 3 4 inches. Simply cut another 1 x2 board the length of your shelf minus 3 inches to accommodate the side supports and screw it to the studs along the back wall of the closet.
