Attic Shelving

November 05th, 2006 | Category: Attics

Attics are all about storage, but rarely is the storage organized. The length of the legs of the “L” will depend on the slope or pitch of your roof. that arrangement allows for shelving, without supports cluttering the attic floor.

One end of the “L” runs vertically attaching to the side of the roof rafter. The other end, running

horizontally, attaches to the same rafter further down. Here’s a simple solution to take advantage of the open framing found in most attics. These rafters are on 24″ centers, so we put a bracket on each one by the eight-foot span we covered. Create shelves for attic storage by building an “L” shaped support from 1×4s.
