Building A Large Mezzanine With Stair Case

In this video, we add a large mezzanine and stair case to one of our previous build series. Adding this large mezzanine allowed our client to utilize a ton more space in his shop, and by having the large stair case, it will easily be accessible even when carrying items to or from the storage space.
Building a mezzanine is a great cost effective way to gain additional storage in a shop or garage without needing to make the footprint larger.
If you want to go watch this building be erected as a full build series, below is the link.

    *Very easy to set up and use, attractive but be sure you understand the height--it's not tall. The heat is not overwhelming, but steady and pleasant fireplace **fireplace.homes** . It's quiet, too. I like the possibility of easily moving it from room to room in the event we want supplemental heat elsewhere. Definitely a good buy.*

    Kudos Kyle & Co. This is a young man's work and you guys rock. I'm over 60 now, and drove tractor trailers most of my life until I blew out my back. Recently had to put all my schtuff into storage, our home and my shop. Saw a 12' x 40' stall where a tenant had built a loft to stow some of his stuff and I asked the owner of the storage facility if I could build one of these mezzanines inside my unit. Long story short . . . He loved what I did (six months ago) and now I have built a total of three of these, including one for the owner himself - with "Folding" stairs ! He's very excited about it and asked me to get some sort of list to show his other tenants. So now I have a "brochure" and have two more jobs pending already ! In order to speed things up and be able to make intelligent estimates for my materials and labor I started brushing up on my 3-D modeling using SketchUp. I studied Autodesk Maya in college some ten years ago after blowing out my back, but SketchUp is just fine for this stuff. Then I run across your videos ! I subbed after the first video, actually only halfway through. I knew I wanted to see more of your work. Great stuff dude. Really, you do good work. Thanks for the videos too. Like I said, this work is for young guys like yourself. My back is killing me, but I need the income and can't, absolutely CAN'T drive a truck anymore. I work for myself and I can pace myself according to my bodies abilities. Looking forward to many more videos . . . Currently binging out on - Part 3: 80' Truss Install With 2 Guys: Large WorkShop series. Love it guys !

    I love my mezzanine in my shed. Not only does it give me the room up above for storage, but also a lockable, heated room down below and an area for hardware where the ceiling is 8' and can be lighted real well. They make a lot of extra usable space if your not parking big machinery back there.

I did in fact make a stair case out of steel tubing, tread plate etc. I have about 420 sq ft. And with every two sections of pallet rack I add, I can increase the floor space by 210 sq ft. I made the decking out of two layers of opposite stacked 4x8 heavy duty plywood, screwed to a steel ladder frame that I lifted in place with a forklift into three sections that I was able to bolt together once laid on top of the pallet racking.
