1. 1:05–1:57 Assemble Vertical Side Frames From Under-Stair Shelving, Step 7: Assemble the Main Frame

   Lay out the cut 2x4 lumber pieces on the floor to form the rectangular side frames for the shelving units. These frames will serve as the vertical supports for your shelves. Once laid out, use a cordless drill and appropriate wood screws to securely fasten the pieces together. Ensure all joints are flush and the frames are square by checking with a speed square or tape measure before fully tightening the screws. Create multiple identical frames for all the vertical supports.

2. 3:22–6:20 Install Shelf Units and Supports From Under-Stair Shelving, Step 10: Install the Shelving Unit

   With the shelf units ready, lift and position the first unit against the wall. Ensure it is level using a spirit level. Once positioned correctly, use a cordless drill and long wood screws to attach the shelf unit securely to the wall studs. The video shows attaching the first unit to the bottom section of the wall. Repeat this for subsequent shelf units, stacking them vertically and attaching them to the wall studs and to each other using wood screws to create a multi-tiered shelving system. Add additional vertical 2x4 supports where necessary, screwing them into the wall studs and the shelf units to enhance stability and create separate sections for the shelves. Use clamps to hold pieces in place before drilling and screwing.
