With a little one on the way, we needed to build a storage unit to hold prams and carriers etc but didn’t want to break the bank.

Picked two of these doors off Marketplace for free, took them apart, skimmed them down and built a frame for a new garage shelving unit. Supplemented with a bit of PSE timber and free off cuts from the local B&Q.
Complete photos to come!
