DIY Eaves Storage - Using Sliding Doors for Attic Loft Conversions

My DIY video shows you how to easily install a loft conversion or attic eaves storage solution using sliding doors. Here I use the Rohley Ares 3 kit, but this eaves storage idea also works with the Rothley Ares 2 kit as well. If you’re thinking of commissioning custom made eaves doors in your loft conversion, think twice as making cupboards in the attic using sliding doors is so much cheaper and easier so you can DIY.
The sliding doors installation was really easy and a really satisfying DIY storage project to complete. It makes use of the mostly useless space at the bottom of your attic eaves and also leaves your loft conversion looking super smart and tidy.

Fab, glad you like it. It makes the world of difference in the room - so much tidier.

Great idea! I'm not a DIY enthusiast, but it's a great idea if I can employ someone to do it for me 🙂.

[@WarrenNash]

Thanks very much :-). Good luck finding someone.

Looking to do something similar to this. Can the same be achieved where the roof is sloping downwards -we're an end terrace on a steep hill. I presume you'd just have to square it off.

It's really a great tutorial. I want to implement it. Can you explain how did you make the angle v cut on the wooden plank which attaches to the beam?
