Do ceiling joists in a garage need to be strenghtened to support overhead storage?
Gable roof with 2×8 rafters 16″ oc. 2×10 ceiling joists 16″ oc, 24′ span. I want to nail 5/8″ plywood down on top of ceiling joists to store christmas decorations, kids toys, large bulky items. Roof pitch is 5/12 so usable storage is limited to midspan of 2×10.
Should be ok for storing light items…brace the floor to the rafters in the center every 8 feet or so…diagonals from the ceiling joists to the rafters every 4 feet, roughly a 1/4 of the distance out from the walls… support columns, beam or wall in the center would be better.
Your proposed setup is exactly what my garage has except I have more usuable space/different pitch and have had no problems in 30 years even with heavy items. 2 X 10 ceiling joists are hardly marginal and prevent the walls from bowing outwards. Snow load on the roof is moderate in Wisconsin winters.
