Description of Jelle

In our shed I made three shelves in the back and insulated the side walls and covered them with hardboard with holes so that tools can be hung.

How I made this project

First I measured the shed carefully and had the planks cut to size so that they would fit properly. I still had to cut a small corner for the post, which I did myself. I then attached iron supports to the existing posts at the same height on which I attached the beams. The planks were placed on top of this, the beams must ensure that everything does not sag too much. All in all, it is a sturdy construction and I think it looks quite nice. I put glass wool between the existing beams of the shed, which you can easily cut to the right size with a knife. I used hardboard with holes to cover it. These were shortened slightly so that two of them fit exactly in terms of height. I am going to attach a slat to this to hang the heavier things, but light items can be hung directly on this.
