We have used the rafters above the garage for storage of empty boxes for a while. It has always been funky figuring out which large box to put down first and then awkwardly stack the smaller boxes on top. Since we had all those left-over boards from redoing the decks, we chose to put some of them to use. We attached them with only two screws each and spaced them widely. They made the storage area far easier to use and larger. A single pic follows.
