Loft Storage in Garages: What to Ask Your Truss Company

Thinking about adding loft storage to your new garage? The good news is that all of our simple garage plans can be designed to include loft space - it just depends on how your trusses are built. To make sure you get the storage you need, here are a few questions to ask your truss company:

• Request attic trusses instead of standard trusses. They’re designed to create usable space overhead.

• Check headroom requirements — most homeowners prefer at least 6 feet of clearance for comfortable use.

• Plan for pull‑down stairs — a cost‑effective way to access your loft without taking up valuable floor space.

• Ask about insulation if you’ll be storing items that are temperature‑sensitive.

With the right truss design, your new garage can give you valuable extra storage without increasing the building’s footprint. Whether you’re looking at a 1‑car garage or a larger 3‑car or RV garage, adding a loft is a smart way to make the most of your investment.
