If you’re looking for an inexpensive way to add shelving to your portable building, this is the way to go! Even if you get a simple milk crate, that doesn’t mean you can’t spruce it up a little with spray paint.

-Bracketed Shelving

Your ceiling space sometimes goes unused, so maximize it with proper shelving! Attach brackets and wood shelving closer to the ceiling so you can use your space wisely. For extra storage attach wire shelving below it to hold smaller equipment like sports balls. Just make sure you’re screwing the brackets into the studs that line the wall.
