![]() Trim screws have a smaller head, leaving less repair work to do. We used 3-inch wood screws to attach the supports to the back piece.Ĭlamp the front trim piece is place, pre-drill and attach using a 1 5/8 trim screw. We used two (1 5/8-inch) wood screws in each underside support, from below, up into the shelf. We pre-drilled every place we wanted to add a screw, because pine can be prone to splitting and pre-drilled helps prevent that. We clamped all of the underside supports in place, ensuring there was no more than 24in between each of the support arms (our shelf width gave us four, spaced about 21in apart). I added a 45 degree angle to one end and cut 4 supports to a 10in total length. The 3rd 1.25in piece was used to cut the supports for under the shelf. The recess on our wall is 65.5in, so the 12in piece and two of the 1.25in pieces were cut to that. Once the pieces were ripped to their respective widths, we cut them to length. (We’ll install LED lighting behind the lip of the front trim) The 12in piece would make up the shelf top, while the 1.25in pieces would be used to stabilize the shelf from underneath, as well as trim out the front. Using a table saw, we cut four pieces out of each project board. – in store Lowe’s had 1-in x 24-in x 6-ft, which is what we used – not sure why it’s not showing on their site What if we wanted to put boxes or baskets on the shelves, for example? But the more we sat with this decision (and the more DMs we got), we decided flat shelves would be more versatile. When we initially planned the shoe shelves, we thought they’d be angled. ![]()
