Construct and Install Toe-Kick Base
At 3:09 in
DIY BUILT-IN MUDROOM LOCKERS
What happens here
Construct the toe-kick base using pressure-treated 2x4s to prevent rot, especially in a garage mudroom environment where water might be present (e.g., from pressure washing). Assemble the lumber into a rectangular frame using screws, ensuring it matches the overall length of your locker units. Place the assembled toe-kick frame against the wall in the desired location. Level the frame using shims as necessary to ensure a stable and even foundation. Secure the toe-kick frame to the floor and into wall studs using long screws to provide a solid base for the locker units.
Goal: Build a sturdy toe-kick base from pressure-treated lumber to elevate the locker units and protect them from moisture, then secure it to the floor and wall.
