We set out to tackle diy attic storage and attic flooring and things got a little more adventurous than we expected.
Diy attic storage shelves.
I first screwed the back support boards for each shelf into the studs.
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.
Easy diy storage shelves for attic or garage.
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.
If you are lucky enough to have plenty of standing room you can simply bring up or build stand alone shelving.
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.

Nail wire shelves to the wall of your attic then place labeled bins on top.
These will support your shelves.
When you re lacking in floor space there s only one place to go.
Then i screwed the outer shelf support.
Cut 1x1 pieces to fit across two for each shelf on the unit and screw them into place using the marks you made.
