Convenient folding shelf in the trunk of a car

Anyone can add such a shelf to their car and significantly expand the capacity of their trunk. This thing will definitely be useful for owners of station wagon and hatchback cars.
As you know, the total volume of the rear trunk is measured in liters and is indicated in the passport. But the design of the car itself does not make it possible to fully use it 100%, since if you fill it with small objects, they fall on top of each other, wrinkle, break... And all this is so clumsy, bad and inconvenient. And if you transport food in this way, they will definitely get wrinkled and become unusable.

Making a folding shelf

It is also necessary to decide on the height of the future shelf. We take the legs and cut them to the required length with a hacksaw.

Use a thin object to squeeze out the seals from the scraps.

And we install them back into the shortened legs.

In the places where the shelf is attached (in the rear seats), we screw in hooks according to the future height.

The stripes indicate the lines where you need to sew. Everything is sewn with a regular needle and regular threads.

It would be a good idea to line the hole to prevent the material from fluffing up.
