Diy attic storage shelves.

We set out to tackle diy attic storage and attic flooring and things got a little more adventurous than we expected. February 19 2018 by christina 7 comments. 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. Get the tutorial at a bowl full of lemons.

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. Thanks lowe s for sponsoring this vid. Cut the perpendicular boards to form the sides of the storage units. Nail wire shelves to the wall of your attic then place labeled bins on top.

These will support your shelves. After that mark on the vertical boards the distance you ve planned out between the shelves. If you are lucky enough to have plenty of standing room you can simply bring up or build stand alone shelving. I first screwed the back support boards for each shelf into the studs.

Cut 1x1 pieces to fit across two for each shelf on the unit and screw them into place using the marks you made. When you re lacking in floor space there s only one place to go.
