Simple Sideways DIY Tote Rack Plans + FULL GUIDE (E-Book) | Garage Storage for 15 HDX Totes

$6.00

Get your garage floor back. This rack holds 15 27-gallon HDX totes in under 8 feet of wall, and you can build it in an afternoon with sixteen 2x4s and about $100 in lumber and hardware.

The totes slide in sideways and hang by their handles on 2x4 stringers. No shelves to build, nothing to sag, and the bottom row just slides on the floor. It’s the exact rack I built in my own garage, laid out step by step so you can build it right the first time.

The finished rack:

  • 94 1/2 inches wide, 20 inches deep, 85 1/4 inches tall

  • Holds 15 HDX 27 Gallon totes, 3 wide by 5 high

  • Built from 16 2x4 studs, deck screws, and 2 L brackets
