Diy attic storage shelves.

I first screwed the back support boards for each shelf into the studs. We set out to tackle diy attic storage and attic flooring and things got a little more adventurous than we expected. Thanks lowe s for sponsoring this vid. There are lots of ways to add shelving and it all depends on the amount of space you have to work with and the pitch and angle of your rafters and roof.

I followed this tutorial by ana white which is an easy and cost effective way to make basic wood shelving for an attic basement or garage. When you re lacking in floor space there s only one place to go. Cut 1x1 pieces to fit across two for each shelf on the unit and screw them into place using the marks you made. If you are lucky enough to have plenty of standing room you can simply bring up or build stand alone shelving.

Other attic storage ideas if you don t want to clutter the space too much just don t make shelves up to the ceiling go for lower ones to accommodate some things. Cut the perpendicular boards to form the sides of the storage units. Metal wall mounted shelves can hold everything you need and you ll use the space that is considered dead because it s difficult to give it a function. Then i screwed the outer shelf support.

After that mark on the vertical boards the distance you ve planned out between the shelves. Nail wire shelves to the wall of your attic then place labeled bins on top.
