How Do You Create Storage Under A Low Deck?
If there is space underneath a deck that is at least 10 inches high, there is still enough room to create storage. In many cases, you won’t be able to reach deep inside the space underneath. One way around this problem is to create a big sliding drawer. Here’s how to create storage under a low deck. Survey the space underneath the deck. Determine how large you want to create a sliding drawer that’s flat or boxed. Realize that the larger the drawer, the heavier it will be. These instructions will be used to create a drawer but a simple flatbed with wheels will also work. Determine the surface under the deck for the drawer to roll on. The drawer will require wheels to slide in or out. If you don’t use wheels, the drawer will be too heavy to push in or pull out, especially with stuff in it. Ensure the surface under the deck is fairly flat. It does not have to be perfectly level. In this example, there is an old brick patio underneath the deck so no work is needed to create a good surface
