Easy, Economical Garage Shelving from 2x4s

We needed some more storage in our basement so I made these shelves.  They are 10 feet long.  I couldn't get the 10 foot long 2x4s into the basement through the house, so my husband helped me slide each board through a tiny window one at a time.  I also decided to paint the shelves to make them look nicer since they are in the finished part of our basement.  Overall, I think they turned out great and they can hold a lot more than I expected.
