Here are some images of basic 2x4 and plywood shelves.
Measure and plan your space. Be sure about your shelf spacing before hand. Determine how deep you need your shelves to be. You should use a thickness of at least 1" to support the weight, possibly 1.5". I recommend putting a back on the shelves for stability so it would like similar to a built in. I did this method in the attic. In the garage, I used metal shelving brackets and screwed them directly into the walls. Unfortunately, I used the wrong type of boards (OSB) and they didn't stand the test of time. Once oil and other fluids saturated the a shelf, it disintegrated. Also, they will warp under the weight. I am in process of replacing them now.
