5 Reasons it is best to NOT look up for storage options.
Many homeowners store household goods in their attics, thinking it's safe. This may or may not be a good plan.
1. Trusses are not designed to carry weight on top of the bottom chords, the ceiling joist portion of the truss.
2. Storing perishable items--items that may be damaged by or degraded by high heat is not a good idea; think melted Christmas candles.
3. A lot of movement in the attic can create nail pops in your ceiling.
4. Insulating value will be greatly reduced.
5. Your attic isn't designed for you to be hunting up there for your stored stuff--see reasons 1, 2 and 3.
