Stack the tyres
Decide the height of your storage rack and stack the appropriate number of tyres. Ensure they are stable and aligned properly.
Cut the wooden planks
Measure and cut the wooden planks according to the diameter of the tyres for creating the shelves. Ensure each plank fits snugly within the tyre.

Install the shelves
