Small 12x18 shed attic storage space idea?

[JonathanLaporte]

Ok I know, its a shed. But still I need the most space I can have because it will be a motorcycle shop.

So I need the stock to be off the floor.

I have around 5' from the bottom of the truss to the tom (in the center). I know its not much that I can at least store my winter tires there along with boxes.

I planned a ridge vent on the roof and some insulation between truss.

Here's a few pic:

This is an old pic. Now its finised, electricity is done and I've started the insulation of it with 3/8 plywood.

Somebody have a similar setup?

It looks like you have a good start for your shop, and using sheet materials for above storage is a good way to get things off the floor. I'd be careful to not over load the wall ties. It appears that these are 4x4s or 6x6s, and I'd be curious about the load bearing capabilities.

Are you talking about the truss rating?

Those are 2x3 linked with a 2x4 all the way... My contractor made this.
