Diy Garage Attic Storage

Several years ago we wanted to beef up the insulation in our main attic to help make our home more energy efficient.

Diy garage attic storage. Here is an example for just a small space between rafters. It is really easy to lay down sheets of plywood between the rafters. You will always want to check the walls for wires and pipes in addition to studs using a stud finder. You definitely do not want to step through your ceiling and adding the flooring may be all the storage area you need.

Take a few of our favorite attic storage ideas into consideration. The original insulation was near 40 years old and sitting below the ceiling joists in many spots. Each project is simple easy enough to put together and aesthetically pleasing too. Cut 2 x 10 ledger boards with a miter saw.

Attics they re dark and dingy but great for storage if you can gain the right access especially in a garage attic. If your garage attic has a floor plywood or osb and enough space for you to stand up chances are you have trusses suitable for an attic lift. Vents and ducts can be easily rerouted.

Create a stable floor. If you re not certain whether your attic can bear the load it s best to consult a structural engineer. Attic or storage trusses on the other hand are designed to support extra weight.
