Attic With Boxes

Inspiration for this instructable first came about when my boyfriend and i had an extremely difficult time storing our fake christmas tree in our attic after christmas.

Attic with boxes.

As a very general guide if the joists are only 2x4s don t plan on storing much in the attic other than very lightweight items. Build an attic closet against the attic wall using shelves and low hanging rod. Pests are attracted to the cardboard and to the glue used in construction of the box says santoro. Instead of breaking your back to store them why not use a pulley system to lug them up at a fraction of the weight.

Those cardboard boxes stacked up in your attic could become a veritable buffet for mice and bugs if you re not careful. Think empty boxes and suitcases. Get the tutorial at instructables. Joists that are 2x8 or larger can likely support more weight.

Turn your attic into a great playroom. The attic room gift box allows you to create a special moment for your loved one it opens out to reveal a heart shaped box and square container at the bottom you can use it for jewelry photo frames and flowers available in pink or black. Boxes also break down and disintegrate which will attract pests even more. You want to get rid of old boxes or heavy items and put them in your attic.

We re not sure what s worse when it comes to hauling boxes up to your attic. If they are 2x6 you can probably get away with some boxes filled with relatively light stuff. Labelling the storage boxes and placing them on open shelves makes kids easily access toys and play inside the attic. Find space in the attic with bank of drawers built into the eaves.
