Lets see, I used 1 1/2" brads to nail the shelves together and 1" brads to nail the plywood on the back. Determining what to you use for a particular application is a pretty lengthy explanation but alot of it depends on how "nice" a piece needs to be and what kind of "quality" it should be to hold up under it's intended use. For garage stuff, brads are pretty good and screws sometimes, dados and pockethole screws are good for furniture and cabinets. @phonebluejob Thank you!

]]> Comment on What is a good time of the day for a garage sale? And how should I display clothes without a clothing rack? by Sista69 http://www.garagestorageorganization.org/what-is-a-good-time-of-the-day-for-a-garage-sale-and-how-should-i-display-clothes-without-a-clothing-rack.htm#comment-19660 Sista69 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 00:02:25 +0000 #comment-19660 I think a good time for a garage sale, would be early morning. Starting around 8am, going until noon or a little later like 2 or 3pm. Displaying clothes is better displayed on a hanger. However you may want to use a clothes line and nail it to the tree of hook it to the garage and hang the clothes on hangers on the line. Or you can fold them but it will turn to a mess with people unfolding them to chek'em out. I think a good time for a garage sale, would be early morning.

I usually have mine from 7a.m - 2p.m. As for the clothes you can fold them in stacks of similar items. Jeans, sweaters, kids, men's all in separate piles. Also, I have taken two ladders and a broom handle to build my own clothing rack for a garage sale. Good luck! Early morning through early afternoon is usually best.

Especially if they don't sell and you want to hang them back up. a good way to display them would be to find 2 posts (or trees) and tie a thin rope around them creating a cloths line. PULL IT TIGHT as you might have a ton of cloths on it. you can hang a few on this. I would not putting to many as it bow's the rope and makes it hard to move and push them apart. Maybe fold sweaters or anything heavy.. leave kids shirts / cloths on the line you create!. Good luck! folding cloths (although neat) tends to take a ton of your time.

The best way to display clothing if you don't have a rack is folded on a table. Don't put clothes on a tablecloth on ground, people won't be as inclined to look through them. Sort them by size and type (women's, men's, kid's). 8:30 am til 2:00-2:30 pm is the best time. The best way to display clothing if you don’t have a rack is folded on a table.

This project was looked at by an engineer. It is very well built. We had two large men on it and it didn't move. Most of the storage is stacked on the shelves we installed. The platform is not ment to be filled up with heavier items. I have built several decks in the past and this platform is built closely to the way we build decks. You could probably park a motorcycle on it if you could get it up. Subscribe if you want more home improvement videos. Thanks again! Thanks for the comment. This project was looked at by an engineer.

That's a lot of square footage, and above area to fill up with stuff? That 2x4 joist, and hanger system, you built won't hold much weight b/4 it come down. Looks potentionally dangerous & could lead to a lawsuit if someone gets hurt or killed when it comes down. Have a structural engineer look at it, and he will tell you the same, and might help you come up with a sounder, safer, storage loft area design. Just my two cents.
