The simplest storage option in a sloping roof is a shelf. But there are only a few delicate consoles for shelves, which are suitable for a roof pitch. Hence it is obvious, to make one yourself. However, one must not forget, that the construction is not suitable for heavy books, but rather as a decorative shelf. Saw a triangular strip at the angle of the roof slope. (To determine the angle of inclination, see right). Pre-drill the hole, Use the file to file a piece of flat in the area of the hole, then paint and screw on. The border of the board, an aluminum U-profile, so to cut, that it can be bent exactly around the board. Make sure to bend slowly, otherwise the aluminum breaks easily.
Seat belt for model cars
It sure is a bit of an unusual idea, To attach shelves to straps. But a smart solution on the slope. Roller shutter belts and all the small parts you need, such as eyelets and wood screws, are available at hardware stores. With this equipment you can realize any arrangement. First an eyelet at the top of the belt, two to fix the shelf and another directly behind the shelf as a wall mount. From there it goes on to the next shelves. With the revolver punch pliers (right) pre-punch, then set the eyelets.
Inclined holder
When the “Klippa” magazine holder from Ikea hangs on a straight wall, the newspapers stick in him at an angle. In the sloping roof it's exactly the opposite. To do this, put the components together loosely and mark the drilling points for the holders. Then screw the dismantled sides to the slope. Then the shelf is put together. "Cut" costs 11 Euro.
A tilting console with a wooden plate creates the possibility of a workplace or bookshelf. The secret of the universal application possibilities are three movable mounting points. The connections are moveable on the wall brackets and at the point between the board support and the additional strut, The angle is only set and fixed during assembly. The console can also be mounted on a straight wall, to install inclined shelves for time steps or books (from Vormann).
How to find the angle.
One plumb bob (1) or a thread, which is attached to the lower end with a weight, shows the vertical, so that one is already using a simple set square (2) can easily determine the roof pitch angle. In the case of the set square, the zero point should be at the meeting point of the vertical line and the lower edge of the rafter. It is important with this measurement method, that the rafter has a straight, clean edge, to rule out measurement inaccuracies. It's easier with a gauge (3) with locking screw. Another plumb-less variant is the combination of a spirit level and a joiner's cradle (4). With the spirit level as well as with the plumb line, the vertical line is marked on the beam and the angle is tapped with the joiner's bevel. This determined angle can now be transferred immediately to the components of the planned furniture or to a piece of chipboard and read off with the set square.
