Hi everyone,

We want to organize some clutter in our attic and are looking for a simple and affordable shelving system. The attic has no knee wall and a roof slope of 27°. The shelf should be placed along the roof slope. Does anyone have an idea of something easy to buy off the shelf? Of course, the shelving doesn’t have to fit perfectly 🙂

Thanks!

Best regards,

I bought some shelves and wood at the hardware store, then cut them to size and installed them in the niches. I filled all the gaps and later labeled and placed boxes there.

Unfinished attic with wooden studs, white shelves between them, cables and hoses.

Yes, that’s actually the smartest approach. Since there is already so much wood, you might as well make use of it...

Short rails with shelf supports, for example from the company Dolle. Fix the rails using a wooden wedge underneath, place deeper supports and shelves at the bottom, and shorter supports towards the top. This way, you would make use of every centimeter (inch).

You often find something like this on the internet:

Attic storage with wooden structures and colorful storage boxes arranged in rows.


It’s not an off-the-shelf solution, but putting something like this together basically doesn’t require much more effort than assembling an Ikea shelf. 🙂
Otherwise, I also think the half-height heavy-duty shelving units are a good option in terms of price-performance.

No extra effort, but as you can see, there is still 1 meter (3.3 feet) of unused space behind it...

I would therefore suggest something on wheels.

This would probably be the premium solution (found on 1000steine)

Multi-level storage system with transparent boxes with orange lids in front of a wooden cabinet.


Or something a bit more rustic (Vogt Scheinerei GmbH)

Wooden shelving system in the attic with cabinets and open shelf space.

The lower one is amazing. If I ever come into a lot of money, I’ll have something like that installed by a carpenter.
