![]() ![]() I'm just throwing some ideas out there for you to consider. ![]() I'm not trying to tell you how to do your thing. Otherwise the space above you in the office is completely wasted. Trust me when I tell you that storage space is everything once you start to fill your garage with "man-stuff"! Two shelves at 24" deep x 24" wide and 12' long comes to (if my public school math serves.) 96 cubic feet of storage which, in my book, is nothing to sneeze at. A simple step ladder is all that would be needed to access the shelves or you could even get creative and suspend a section of ladder from an overhead door track and have a cool sliding ladder like in a library that you could just slide out of the way when you're not using it. But I've been very happy with the 24" deep shelves and bench-tops I've had in my shops over the years.Īnd since you don't "need" height in an office (certainly not as much as you'll need storage) you could set these shelves at 2' below the ceiling, which would still leave you with 8' (+/-) of head clearance in the office. If 24" isn't quite deep enough, you could go 36" and still have a 4' gap down the middle. That could give you 24' of 2' shelf (12' on each wall), easily accessible with a ladder from the 6' gap down the middle of the office ceiling inside your office. Since you plan to build the walls all the way up to the 10' ceiling, what if, instead of a "loft" or "mezzanine" type of storage on top of the office, instead you build 2 shelves inside the office, running the length of the office on each of the 12' walls and maybe 24" out from the walls. Keep in mind that we're talking about a 10' and/or 12' length of that "little bit" of storage. I disagree about the 10 - 14" of storage not being worth the effort.
