Hey guys! I’m still working on our outdoor space right now and nothing irks me more than clutter! Our patio table is usually the collect-all for towels, sun screen, bug spray…you name it! I looked online for an outdoor storage cabinet and could not find one that I liked under $500! Yikes! I headed on over to Ana’s and found plans for a book shelf.
I modified the plans for the shelf measurments to fit our storage needs.
This was a super easy (nap-time) build. I also built this inside because it is HOT out right now:)
I spaced the first two shelves out this way to fit my hubs TV and cable box. It will be so nice to hide them in this cabinet;)
I spaced the rest of the shelves out evenly for random storage:)
I predrilled for 2″ screws per Ana’s plans and I also used Gorilla Glue Wood Glue for every joining piece.
I love the trim on the top and it was easy!!!
That’s it for the cabinet… Now for the doors
I chose fence panels to construct the doors so they would match our fence…fun:)
So, that’s all I have for now! I will be back soon to share the rest of the cabinet!

Thank you Nancy! It is addicting! Good luck on your first build:)
I can’t wait to see the finished cabinet.
Thank you Stephanie:)
What a great idea….I’m thinking the garage for the “grill” stuff, charcoal, mitts, etc! Anxious to see the finished product also. Also liking the tables in the 2nd picture – are those nesting tables? Did you make them?
Thanks so much! I can’t wait to have a place for all that junk:) Those are actually bar stools purchased at World Market:))
Love it ~ girl you are so frickin’ talented =)
LOL thank you Reenie:)))
Girl, you read my mind! An outdoor storage cabinet is exactly what I’ve been thinking about. We don’t have a place for pool supplies, grilling supplies, etc. Can’t wait to see the finished product!
Thanks Jan! I know….so sick of clutter! Can’t wait for it to disappear:)
