Building shelving is not a quick job.

How to build attic shelves.

I first screwed the back support boards for each shelf into the studs. Nail them with an edge to the front support and the other to the back support. Order built in under the eaves compartments and drawers for clothes and shoes. Make wall mounted boxes and shelves to fit under the roof.

By adding shelves that are supported by 2 4 brackets attached to the rafters you can expand your useable attic storage space. Installing shelves for totes and boxes will help you keep things neat organized and easy to find. Watch this video to find out more. You can add two large rubbermaid containers to each individual shelf with space.

This diy guide will show you how to do just that. Make sure you set aside quite a bit of time though. Attic storage still needs to be organized though. Attic storage can free up space in other areas of your house leaving closets and garages free of clutter.

This is a great video for anyone looking to make extra space in their attic. 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. Attic spaces are amazing for creating a walk in closet and you will easily accommodate all your things there. Then i screwed the outer shelf support boards onto the back boards just with a few screws to temporarily hold them.

Use a pair of 2 x 4 length 16 for each shelf you want to build. They will act as crosspieces for every shelf.
