Here are a few pics of ideas I had found on the internet. They could come in handy if you have a blank slate to work with.

That shelf frame is screwed to the top plate of the wall along the back and both sides. It spans the 10 foot width of the building. I didn't plan to put anything heavy up there so 2x4's seemed OK to me.

After constructing the rear shelf, we built two shelves (one for each side) that drop down a little so plastic tubs can be used for storage. One side holds the Christmas decorations. That made my sweetie happy. :thumbsup:

Here are a couple of pics. I had my assistant helping with the construction.

:yes:

Thanks for the shelf info.

You have a nice helper. What is she drilling and what is the clamp for?

Thanks,

She was driving 2 1/2 inch pocket screws. I made the frame for the shelf using pocket screws. She was attaching the cross members. With bad knees, I mostly watch and offer moral support!

The clamp worked great to hold the cross member in place and flush with the mating piece.
