Garage Storage: Space-Saving Sliding Shelves Let’s face it. No matter how big your garage is, there never seems to be enough room to store everything. But by making ultra-efficient use of the narrow area on the sidewall of your garage, this storage project can help. The heart of the system is a series of double-sided rollout shelves that allow easy access to everything that can be stored in a narrow space. Don’t worry if you’ve also got some large items to store. The cost of the materials for this project is about $800. Expect to spend three or four days building this project. The particleboard and framing lumber you’ll need are available from home centers and most lumberyards.
