A well-constructed DIY shelving unit built using standard 2x4 lumber can hold an astonishing amount of weight, easily supporting anywhere from 300 to over 1,000 pounds per shelf depending on the exact design, span length, and how securely the frame is anchored. Because 2x4 boards possess exceptional compressive strength and load-bearing capacity when oriented vertically, a properly braced workbench or garage storage rack built from 2x4s can comfortably store heavy toolboxes, bulk pantry items, and large storage bins.
