ᐅ Shelf for Attic – Sloped Ceiling Without Knee Wall

That's true! So far, I've only found these parts in "2x wide shelf" + "2x narrow shelf" sets. Do you happen to know a model that can be built as "1x wide shelf" + "1x narrow shelf"? That could be a good solution.

I have the ones from Obi, they come with 5 identical shelves, and if you need a very wide shelf, you just put two of them side by side 😉

Yes, a lot of space is lost. Behind there, we store things like spare tiles, a crib, and a changing table attachment—items that are rarely needed. On the shelves, there are boxes with things that are accessed more frequently.

By the way, Ivar is quite expensive if you want to achieve the same storage capacity as with a heavy-duty shelving unit.

I still had some Ivar parts left over from my previous apartment, which I installed under the roof. I think I even trimmed a few centimeters (inches) at the back to fit the shelves further under the sloping roof. At low inclinations, every centimeter (inch) really makes a difference. In the garage, I have heavy-duty shelving from toom. They are good, but first, the structures for the boards are quite tall, which results in a significant loss of space. Also, to my knowledge, you cannot purchase additional tiers for them.

Not at the hardware store, but maybe from the manufacturer? Otherwise, people usually buy complete shelving units. One costs about as much as two shelves for IVAR (not even on sale).

The issue with assembly is true, though. You always lose about 3cm (1¼ inches) in the process.

I don’t have a solution for our attic yet either. Ideally, I want to make use of every centimeter, but I don’t have time to build it myself (there are plenty of tutorials for that).
Right now, there’s a very low shelf placed as far back under the slope as possible, but it doesn’t provide much space...

I find the common solution of placing something taller in front and using the space behind for items you don’t need often quite annoying, because when you do need those things, accessing them is really inconvenient.

Maybe Kallax cubes in three different heights on casters could be a quick fix? (found on Pinterest)
