It will not work for everyone of corse. The tips are here to help anybody realize that free space can be found everywhere. Those are not final poka-yoke solutions for everybody. If someone cannot understand that and is being hurt by doing it wrong, probably he deserved it. Please excuse me for my english. Regards, Petar @Karl

What if you have to go and do some repair work on the roof? I don't know what security coefficients the engineers in your company worked with, but if the truss is not capable to bear an extra 20kg for example, I think it's good for nothing. Moreover, as far as I know wood houses are calculated with security coefficient 3-5 (which is more than enough). Well I guess that depends on the company and the engineers. Maybe you are right and we have to put a note "not suitable for wood houses with weak trusses". Well that’s just not right. What if you have to go and do some repair work on the roof?

So I have a little bit knowledge of these things. There are a lot of kinds of attics, and indeed there are some designed for living in the roof. The attics in your picture not. Remember, that the attics must be very cheep, so the engineers are calculating with the minimum of load and with the minimum of security. Usually the bottom chord is only calculated for one man in the middle. You see the small nailplate in the truss on your picture? You must not calculate, you can feel, that this small plate is too small for this load. And books are very heavy. Ask an engineer! ..sorry - I am living in Germany and my english is always under construction. @Gergana

I don't think idea #3 is dangerous, at least for houses in good condition. A large number of the attics are suitable for living, so I guess the beams are calculated to bear great loadings. If the house is constructed properly and if the materials are processed well I think it will be safe enough to put some boxes with old clothes, linen and books. We did not say "carry up your entire house on the attic", we just gave an idea for some extra storage space. Best regards Hi Karl, thanks for the comment.

These trusses are not designed to store so much load. Your idea is the best way to find the ceiling on the floor - and what happens in this case with children, Grandma's, cats, dogs. You must delete this and you must give a warning to your readers to do not this. Karl Hi Your proposal No 3 – is dangerous and perilous. These trusses are not designed to store so much load.
