I'm in the process of building cabinets for my garage to replace some unsightly metal shelving.
Over the weekend, I started with the carcass of the first one. It is 84" tall and finished width with face frames will be 16". (Pictures will come later, right now, I'm putting poly on the interior portions before assembly to make it easier on me.
The others will also be 84" tall.
I have an 88" wide space to fill. If thinking left to right, here is what I'm wanting to do.
First cabinet is "cubbies" to put my yard shoes, work gloves, gas cans, car wash stuff, and such. It is going to have a finished width of 18".
That leaves me with 70" inches of space. I was thinking of two 35" wide cabinets, but I'm worried about the span being too long for the shelves to not buckle under the weight of any "load" placed on them.
I could make three 22-23" wide boxes instead. This would reduce the "span" of the shelves and perhaps be more stable. It might also look better.
I'm needing opinions, Let me know how you would approach this.
Thanks,
