Here is what I have begun so far.
The "Color Cave" Doors |
The inside of the doors. |
I decided on adjustable shelving so I bought 8 upright double track for brackets.
Here is a picture of the closet without the rail mounted.
It took me some trying to get good screws to mount them with. The first ones I bought were far too long. I decided to go with one about and inch and a half deep. I don't plan on these shelves holding anything but collectibles, not including books.
Each rail is about 2 feet separated so that the brackets can overlap some if I want to overlap them.
Once mounted I made sure each was level with a leveler and tested the brackets.
The following is a photo of the brackets with the unpainted wooden shelves.
Here are the corners of each, which also have brackets and smaller shelves.
I haven't been able to paint the shelves yet because of the weather. It rains nearly everyday here, which would make the paint unable to dry. It will take several coats to make them like I want, so they are currently waiting.
I also found out I need more brackets then pictured because I have more closet to fill and shelves cut.
The current cost of the shelf is $168
$6 per track rack X 8 =$48
$3 per bracket X 24 = $72
$6 per board. (I get 3 shelves per board, 4 small boards) X 8 = $48
Not bad considering I get to customize the shelf system and move it around I would like.
I still have to buy more brackets and paint. I will cover the painting in the next update!
Until then, what do you think so far?
