Ultimate DIY Wooden Garage Cabinets: Tools, Materials & Cost
You could build this wood garage cabinets system with just a few hand tools, a drill and a circular saw, but a table saw would save you lots of time. The skills you’ll need are as basic as the tools. If you can make long straight cuts and screw parts together, you can build this wall-mounted garage cabinet system.
Before continuing with the article, familiarize yourself with creating this DIY garage cabinet.
This whole wood garage cabinets system is made from just two materials: plastic-coated particleboard usually called ‘melamine,’ and construction-grade pine 1x4s. (Melamine is the type of plastic used as the coating.) You could use 3/4-in. plywood or particleboard, but I chose melamine because it didn’t require a finish.
The materials for this floor-to-ceiling wall mounted garage cabinets system cost about $37 per linear foot of wall space. That’s less than I would have paid for wimpy ‘utility’ cabinets at a home center. Our garage walls were 10 ft. tall. If your ceiling is about 8 ft. tall, you can eliminate the deep upper cabinets. That will lower the cost to about $27 per linear foot. If you opt for completely open shelving and skip the cabinet doors, your cost will drop to about $20 per linear foot.
