How to DIY Laundry Shelves

Attach Wall Cleats

• Rip the two 2-in. x 2-in. x 8-in. cleats out of the 2-in. x 4-in. x 8-in. pressure treated pine.
• Set your laundry machines in their optimal location, making sure that they are leveled properly.
• Mark two vertical level plumb lines up from either side of the machines to place your wall cleats.
• Place the bottom of the 2-in. x 2-in. cleats on the floor, attach them with construction adhesive and Tapcon screws.
• Pre-drill with a carbide tip bit. Use only four to six fasteners; the construction adhesive will do the rest.
• If you have mortar joints, it’s easier to drill there than directly into the cement block.
