this closet is under my front steps ,but is in my basement, It had one shelf acrossed it and we used to store boxes in there,. I cleaned it out,ripped out the old shelf and scraped and painted the walls ,today I tiled the floor with some leftover tile that I had. Next I want to build shelves on each wall to make a storage area for all our jars when we can stuff frome the garden, Any sugestions on shelf building ideas would be appreciated

Friend of mine got some new fanger plast. ones from Wally world. Were a lot better quality than I would of thought from WW. Would save you putting screws in the block walls and they wouldn't rust.
 
Not really so much on the shelfs as much as fasteng them but by the looks of it you'll be fastening to brick or cinder block so figuring you'll have to drill holes and use anchors or concrete screws at least. you could fasten on say a 2x2 to the back and one side and have a leg running the full height on the outside. not a big fan of those L brackets for hanging shelfs myself but you could go that way also. all depends mostly what weight you'll be supporting and size of jars etc as far as what you use for shelves and where you postion them. i think the 2x2 senario would be stronger. sure others will have other ideas. Hope this is helpfull. Rocko.
 
I have a similiar situation. I fond some inexpensive stand alone shelves at Home Depot. Saves drilling holes in your tile and can be removed later for painting and cleanup
 
How about building free standing shelves, Like a book case.
I did that with 3/4" plywood. the first one I just rabbited the uprites for the shelves.
The second one I resesed two metal shelf strips to have adjustable shelves.
Because mine were for my office, I used wood tape on the edges.
 
I made some simple shelves for my wife to store here canned goods. I stacked up cement blocks and used 1x12 shelveing board in between them for the shelves.It is just right for her 1 quart canning jars. Did it over thirty years ago in our old house and moved them to our new house we built 20 years ago. Not overly pretty but have served us well in our fruit room under our porch where nobody but us goes anyway.
 
How about screwing some angle iron horizontally on each wall and using plywood shelves that can be slid in and out? you will get a lot more stuff in and can still side them out to reach the back jars.
Just a thought...Sam
 
I would purchase vinyl covered wire closet systems from on line, or a big box store, and combine them into a rollout system that can be accessed from both sides, and easily filled Urethane wheels and a little fabrication would allow full and maximum loading and access. Jim
 
Something like this,perhaps.You have to consider the weight of the bottles bending the shelves over time.Free standing.

Just guessing on dimensions, but if those are 8" tiles you have about 30"x60" so you could put an 'L' of shelves along a long side and the back. A 12" shelf would leave you 18" to access the back. Wood shelves will inevitably sag under a steady heavy weight, but you could counteract that by putting a small (1/2x1-1/2 or so) on the front of the shelf (perpendicular to the shelf) as well as a full length support along the wall.

Probably need to count how many cans you need to store. I like the idea of rollout shelves to maximize the space and access.

Nice project for a winter weekend though.

I would find an old bank vault door and hang on that colset. Then you would have a walk in fire proof safe. You would need to pour a ceiling also. I have been wanting to do this for a long time!
