Title: Cheap Shelving Idea
Post by: hockeydoc33 on January 03, 2009, 12:56:58 pm

I came up with this idea years ago and thought I'd share................

Regular aluminum "K" gutter makes great shelving to store all your rattle cans, brake fluid and other containers in plain site.  It also fits great in those tight spots like above your garage door.

You can buy a 10' length at Home Depot etc. for about $8.  End caps and hangers as needed.  It can obviously be cut to any length.

I've got it in various areas of my shop.

The pics also show how meticulous I keep my garage.................

Easy cold weather project, no painting!

Enjoy.....

Wow, good idea Don. And the cans won't fall off as they would on a regular shelf.  Now I Can put my extra  piece of gutter to good use.  :icon_wink:

Don't knock it, I've cleaned carbon out of heads with that stuff, does a great job if you are trying to cut through grease and crud.
