My Lumber and Plywood Cart

The problem, all that stuff leaning against the wall:

Did an image search for ideas, found these:

The solution to the problem is my version of a storage cart starting with a saved 4' by 6' pallet that stall mats came on years ago. Added two 2x4s and casters:

Nicely done.

Ordered one 7 shelf unit for the vertical storage spaces:

And two of these for the horizontal slide in storage spaces:

The first one is expanded to fit and screwed down to the base:

Set the bottom half of the horizontal shelf in place:

Had to add short 2x4s to support the legs of the second shelf:

Got the rest of the legs on last night:

And two sets of shelves on today:

Still have one set of shelves, need to decide if I want them at the top or in the bottom section.

I have the same problem and never knew of, or even thought of, a solution to it. I'm looking forward to see this all done and loaded up!!!

Me too, but it is 74 degrees outside so the work on the cart will have to wait while I get outside stuff done.

Decided not to use the last set of shelves for now. I can install them later if needed. So it is finished for now. :thumbsup:

Added 1/2 inch EMT at a slant for the 4 foot wide sheets to lean against:
