A Note From The Home Depot

To make your own wheeled grilling cart, just follow his step-by-step tutorial.

Step 1: Cut the Lumber
Cut the wood into the lengths shown in the diagram above.
Step 2: Build the Shelves
Screw together the 2 x 4s into rectangular frames and then screw the longer pieces of 2 x 8s and 2 x 4s on top of them.
Step 3: Drill Through the Angle Irons
Drill through the angle irons with the 3/16 in. bit. Check to make sure that the screws fit through the holes.
Then use the larger drill bit to create a hole over the 3/16th hole to countersink the screws.
Step 4: Paint the Angle Irons
Clean the cutting oil off the angle irons and then paint them with spray paint.
Step 5: Attach the Angle Irons
Screw through the holes drilled in the angle irons and into the wood shelves.
Step 6: Attach the Top
Screw through the top boards and into the frame.
Step 7: Seal or Stain the Wood
Finish the wood with a butcher-block conditioner.
Step 8: Add Wheels and Accessories
Screw on the wheels and other accessories.
And there you have your DIY grilling cart.
