After undertaking many home improvement projects over the past few years, my garage was getting a little out of control. I had too many bulky tools taking up space, making it hard to get work done efficiently. I decided to build a storage shelf, but looking for more of a challenge, I wanted to add sliding shelves to provide easy access to items in the rear. Check out my blog post at JustMeasuringUp.com for all the details. I documented the project from beginning to end with lots of pics.

The shelves are 3 ft deep and stores a lot of stuff now. When I need something at the back, rather than wading through the stuff at the front, I just grab a handle and slide the whole shelf forward. So if you're looking to improve upon the pretty standard garage shelf design out there, check out mine!
