Are you tired of juggling laundry baskets and struggling to keep your laundry room organized? A DIY laundry cart is the perfect solution! This easy-to-build cart is designed to fit in tight spaces, roll effortlessly, and keep your laundry essentials neatly stored.

Materials:

• 1×6 pine boards
• 1×4 pine boards
• Cart wheels
• Wood glue
• Paint or stain of choice

Tools:

• Saw to cut wood
• Pocket hole jig
• 1 1/4 inch pocket hole screws

Instructions:

Start by measuring how tall you want your cart to be and I did the width by the length of my washer. Make sure you factor in the wheels as well for this. I cut my 1×6 boards to the length and width I wanted (you’ll need 2 for the width and 2 for the height). Then I drilled 2 pocket holes on both ends of one side of the boards, added wood glue and my pocket hole screws to build a box (see example picture).

Next I took my 1×4 boards and cut 4 pieces to the length needed to make my sides for the top and the bottom (this will build a complete box (see example). For the top piece I cut two more pieces to close the ends, I secured all boards with pocket holes and glue.

For the middle shelf I used a 1×6 as the base and cut it to length and then cut my 1×4 for the sides. Attached with pocket holes and secured to the middle using pocket holes on the bottom of the 1×6 to attach to the sides of the cart. 

Once the cart was built I stained using special walnut, let it dry and then added my wheels to the bottom, I made sure the wheels were lined up on all 4 corners to keep it stable.
