After all the hustle and bustle of the holiday, Aaron and I finally had some time this past weekend for a DIY project that has been on our todo list for a while: storage shelves in the attic.

You Will Need (5 things)

  • Plywood
  • 2 X4 Wood
  • Screw(s)
  • Level
  • Drill

Steps (4 steps, 120 minutes)

  1. 1

    Determine where you want the shelves to sit. Use a level to assure the 2"×4" planks are level across the rafters. Use 2.5" wood screws to secure 2"×4" planks to rafter.

  2. 2

    Secure 1 2"×4" plank to each rafter. Rafters where adjoining sheets of plywood meet require 2 2"×4" planks.

  3. 3

    Lay one piece of plywood across 3 planks. Use 1.5" wood screws to secure plywood to 2"×4" planks.

  4. 4

    Repeat step 3 for each piece of plywood.
