How to Make a Golf Storage Center

Things You'll Need

Instructions

1

Take inventory of your golf equipment. If you have more than one golfer in the family, make sure to consider their equipment as well. Count up the number of golf bags, balls, shoes, gloves, towels, and any other items you use out on the course. This will help you to determine the size of your storage unit.
2

Measure and cut your plywood. For the width, measure two feet of width for every golf bag that you have. For example, if you have three golf bags in your family, you will want your plywood to measure six feet wide. The height of your plywood will remain at four feet. Make any necessary cuts with a circular saw. If you don't have a circular saw, you can ask your local hardware store to make the cuts for you.
3

Cover the back of the plywood with construction adhesive and stick the wood to a wall in your garage, with the bottom edge of the plywood falling about waist-high.
4

Use a stud finder to locate studs behind the plywood and reinforce it by screwing screws that are 2 1/4 inches long through the plywood and into the wall studs. Use about nine to 12 evenly spaced screws to secure the plywood to the wall.
5

Screw the heavy-duty metal hooks about 6 inches up from the bottom edge of the plywood. Space them evenly across the width of the plywood. This will be where you will hang your golf bags, so you will need as many hooks as you have golf bags.
6

Screw the metal shelf brackets in an even line across the middle of the plywood with the 2 1/4-inch-long screws. The number of brackets you use will be determined by the width of your plywood wall piece. Use two metal brackets for the first two feet of width, and an additional bracket for each additional two feet of width. For example, if your plywood piece is eight feet wide, you would want four evenly spaced metal brackets.
7

Place the 12-inch wide plywood shelf piece -- the length of which will be determined by the length of your plywood wall piece -- across the top of the metal shelf brackets and screw into the brackets, using the 1/2-inch-long screws.
8

Organize your golf equipment in its new location. Place some metal baskets on the shelf to hold balls, tees, sunscreen, towels and other miscellaneous items. Place shoes on the shelves. Hang your bags full of golf clubs on the bottom hooks.
