If you’ve decided to remodel your kitchen, then you’ve thought about what you’ll do with all your old furniture once you’ve taken it out. If you don’t want to throw away your old cabinets, you can think about reusing them as garage cabinets. Your garage will not only look cleaner and tidy, but all your items will also stay clean.
Here are the steps to reuse old kitchen cabinets as garage cabinets:
• First step – After removing the cabinets from the kitchen, arrange them the way you want them to appear in the garage. Be sure to measure the cabinets and draw lines where they will hang.
• Second step – Next you will install garage cabinets. Mark where the dowels are in the wall, and if the walls are made of poured concrete, you’ll drill 1×4 nail strips into them. If you want, you can paint the walls white to let more light into the garage.
• Third step – choose the corner from which to start and start assembling the first cabinet. Be sure to remove the door beforehand to make your work easier. You will need someone to help keep the cabinet in place so you can screw it securely to the wall.
• Step 4 – If you want 2 layers of cabinets you should start with the top cabinet. Make sure the bottom cabinet is aligned with the top cabinet. Continue to work along the wall until you finish installing both the top and bottom cabinets.
• Step five – Now you will have to connect the garage cabinets together. To do this, squeeze the front frames together and connect them with a screw, making sure that the screw goes from one frame to the other. When done, put the doors back on the cabinets. Since you probably won’t have enough cabinets to cover all of your wall space, you can install boards on top of them for a better look and more storage space for tools or sprays.
• Step 6 – If you choose to install planks as workbenches, you will need plywood to match your open spaces. Measure the area before looking for the wood. You’ll want the boards to protrude a bit more than the cupboards.
