Toe Hold
- Total Time Needed:
- 2-3 Hours
Tired of tripping over a perennially shifting pile of sneakers and snow boots? This easy-to-use "toe first" shelving lets footgear air-dry and can be sized to fit any stretch of wall. We spaced our shelves using 3-inch L brackets, perfect for boots, larger kids? shoes (size 1 and up), and adult shoes. For stowing smaller shoes, use 2 1/2-inch L brackets to hang some or all of the shelves.
- Materials
-
- Four precut 36-inch-long 1/2- by 3-inch boards (or longer 1 by 4 boards cut to fit)
- Sandpaper, primer, and paint
- 1/2-inch wood screws
- L brackets (2 1/2 inches or 3 inches) to fit your family's shoes ? see instructions
- Level and pencil
- Drywall anchors (or appropriate anchoring hardware for your wall)
- Instructions
-
-
If needed, cut the boards to fit your wall, then lightly sand, prime, and paint them.
-
Use the wood screws to attach an L bracket to each board 3 inches in from each end. (If you're not using drywall anchors, position the brackets to align with the wall's studs.) For a shelf longer than 36 inches, add another L bracket at the center.
-
Position the lowest board on the wall, with the L brackets pointing down and flat against the wall. Check it with a level and mark the bracket holes with a pencil.
-
Install the shelf using anchoring hardware. Repeat to hang the other boards above the first,
using the L brackets as spacers.
