How did he secure the base of the Brimnes to the 2x6 frame? I bought them with the intent to hack like this and I feel like I made the wrong choice because it's not a solid flat bottom. I figured I would need trim to cover that gap like you did, but I just can't figure out the securing to the base frame!!
He used liquid nails and a “L” bracket to secure the Brimnes to the 2x6 frame. If you watch the video on 3:50 you can see it. He also went ahead and drilled the Besta into the Brimnes for additional support. You can see this in the video at 5:10. Thank you for watching and hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
Beautiful, love the pantry wood idea I was just looking what I can do with mine . We have the exact same racks . I’m definitely doing this upcoming weekend. Thanks for the tip .
Looks great! I noticed the wall outlet in the back and how the extra support is helping provide some space. Do you think there would be enough space to plug an extension cable in behind the shelf if it had a pretty flat plug?
@jojobelashares thanks! Looking at putting this in my new place but it would need to cover a wall outlet that I'll need access to. Thanks for the reply
Thank you so much for watching ! I just posted a new video on a different type of board and batten wall that we just did which I think is easier since it has less steps if you want to check it out too.
Completely forgot to say that, thanks for catching that! Yes we used an outlet extender box to extend the outlet, which we got from Home Depot. Thank you for watching !
I think that looks great for a cost effective cover-up. I am considering now to do this for two closets in my hallway as opposed to replacing the existing old thousand times painted wood shelves. Thank you for your video.
How do you keep from the edge of the wire shelving to be exposed if you’re nailing the front cover to the wood paneling that is behind the front of the shelf?
Hey, I’m confused as to what you are asking. The wire shelf is not being exposed as it is covered by the piece of wood that is in front, is that what you meant? Thank you for watching!!
Yes we do store it for the winter and yes it is waterproof. When we know we are getting a storm we remove it just to be safe but it has gotten rained on many times and it’s held up nicely. Thank you for watching!!
Did you have to make your shelves an inch wider to accommodate adding the 1x3, to keep the shelf fitting securely against the back of the closet? If measured exactly, how would have no room to nail the 2 pieces together without pulling the panel more to the front to have room to nail. Thank You
