How To Set Up Garage Storage

[ukanonymous]

So peeps we have a flat garage ish anyway its smooth and the level shows its reasonably flat. So we want to install the storage like 80cm high for the table top and we can put like sections below.

But where is the best way to start? If you look in this photo this was the only way we could think of to get a 90 degrees joint.

Is this the best way to do it? Like what exactly is the best method to install the main structure? I guess the last step is screwing the steel feet to the floor.
Is it best to put 2 vertical beams then put the horizontal one ontop and not worry so much about the 90degrees angle? Or should we do each 90% angle spot on like precisely?

Sorry if it doesn't make sense i can try explain more if needed. Thanks poos we would be lost without all the help we get here

Given the chunkiness of your timber my "best way" would be to use either bridle or halving joints at the corners for rigidity, with glue or coach-bolts to hold them together:

Bridle joints would require a wood working chisel though, and both joints involve more sawing and a certain amount of expertise.
If you go with butt joints, then I reckon corner plates (on the vertical faces) would give better rigidity than corner braces

Thank you for the information and those joints look tricky to us amateurs lol. Do you do those with litterally just a normal saw and a wood chisel? We can try i guess as I wont be doing the sawing hehe. How do you attach the corner plates? Just with wood screws directly into the wood? I guess we could do the corner plates and braces together no? Thanks again :) I never knew about these joints before.
