The simple shelves for box storage of CA sized boxes. 8 ' 1 1/2"long by about 7'6" high.

Tools: 14v cordless drill with right angle attachment ($100 at home depot), 12+ ft. measuring tape, saw(I used a cutoff saw($120 at home depot) it's easiest.) A skill saw will do. Any saw will do.

Bill of Materials:

8 - 1 x 12 x 8' pine shelf boards ($7.50 at home depot)
6- 1 x 3 x 8' pine boards ($1.90 at HD)
elmer's glue
1 lb 1 1/2" drywall screws.

check the 1 x 12's for length. 6 of them must be the same length, so trim them to get them the same length, which is close to 8'.

Mark the edges of each of these boards at 24" intervals, 3/4" each side o >the interval.
e.g 23 1/4, and 24 3/4, etc.

Cut the remaining two 1 x 12's to about 80" in height, or if they fit, leave them the full 8'. Mark these at 15" intervals on both 12' sides from one end (the bottom of the rack) up. Check and make certain that all marks match.

Cut the 6 1 x 3's to 75 3/4 ". Mark the edges at 15" intervals. Hold the 6 together with rubber bands, and mark both sides. Check that these marks coincide exactly with the 2 12" wide boards.

Glue all edges when assembling.

Build the shelving laying on the floor, not upright. Make certain it can be tipped up.(clearances)

Put the bottom shelf on the side, stick in 2 or 3 dry wall screws. If you are alone, you can use wine boxes for supports. Do the other side. Put on the top shelf, just above the 75" marks. Glue & screw. Get the right angle, and make certain it's square. Put in the other shelves, one at a time,just above the 15,30,45, and 60" marks. glue & screw one at a time. Make certain they are in the correct places.

Take the first 1 x 3. Glue all shelves at the 48" mark. Attach the bottom at the zero inch mark, and the top at exactly the top of the board (753/4"). Pre drill or it will split. Use one screw at each intersection. This is the back, and split is no problem. Use the lesser 1 x 3's. Attach the intermediate shelves at the pre marked 15,30,45, & 60 " sites from bottom up. Check right angles again This is the last chance for square.

Put on the 24 and 72 " verticals. Same way as the 48".

Stand the rack up, push it against the wall, and install the front vertical 1 x 3's. Start with the top of the 48" site. Attach the 48" bottom. Now the middle shelves, from bottom up. Pre drill the top and bottom holes on the 1 x 3 to reduce splitting. ( if it splits, just take a piece of the leftover 1 x 3, and glue it over the vertical, and hide the split.)

Put on the 24 and 72 " verticals the same way as the 48".

Wipe excess glue as you work, with a wet rag.

Cut a piece of 1 x 3 to 14 1/4" to use as a guide when assembling the shelves

Took me more time to buy the parts, and haul them to the basement than it did to build the thing.

Think about which sides of the boards you want facing forward. Paint now if you plan to paint. Shove the thing against the wall, and attach with a few dry wall screws.

Holds 48 cases, takes a couple of hours to build, and costs about $100 in supplies. If your cellar is 25' long, and you wish to store zillions of cases of CA size boxes, buy 1 x 12 x 12' shelving, and make two 12' shelves.

The Burgundy/wood box shelving requires 8 shelves on 10" centers, and 2 verticals at 32" intervals. After building it, set it 2 to 4" away from the back wall, as the cases go in long ways, and are 20 to 21" long. Build some form of a bracket to hold it off the wall. It's 97 1/2" long, by 70 3/4" high.

It also holds 48 cases. I built mine by inserting spacers between the shelves, and life is too short to do that.

1 x 12 spacers, cut with a Skill saw. no good at all.

1 x 3 spacers cut with a cutoff saw. works, but lots of work.

1 x 3 strips at front and back of shelves. A very good solution.
