Can I build something that can create storage?

Do you possibly have some pictures?

Once I move into the house, I'll probably get plastic boxes with lids instead of cardboard boxes. They probably absorb some moisture even though it's probably absolutely no danger 🙂

Because it isn't osb all over is because the leftover pieces ran out😁 sorry for so many responses here everyone else 👍😅

unfortunately not.
I placed joists parallel to the rafters, i.e., attached them to the rafters and their struts so the top side ended up level with the loose-fill insulation. I put angle irons under these joists for additional support. They ended up at a distance quite close to 120 cm, i.e., basically the width of the board. (By cutting out the boards for the struts with a jigsaw, the "floor" became tight even when I had laid two sections next to each other.) Then I laid a set of joists across these joists to act as carriers for the plywood boards. I had to place these quite closely because I couldn't get whole boards through the hatch in the ceiling. So I had to cut the boards into smaller pieces, ending up at around 70-80 cm (but it can also be denser, depending on how heavy it will be that will lie there!) Made a sketch (if it can be opened...)

As mentioned earlier, you can place some OSB, plywood, or råspont on the rafters for storage. When fastening these, it might be wise to use screws. If you use nails, it can sway and vibrate, causing the plaster in the ceiling below to crack.

Also, it's not certain that the rafters are designed to hold that much load in that direction. Empty suitcases and some candle holders are probably fine. But be cautious about loading up a lot of heavy items.

You have ventilation in the ceiling. You air out under the roof tiles in each roof truss compartment. Called mold stopper and should replace the vents in the gables.

👍
Installed such vents when we redid the roof on a 70s house. Turned out great!

Question 1. Shouldn't there be holes on each gable for ventilation? House built in 2021.

Before I installed these vents there were only vents on the gables and it was barely possible to be up there without a gas mask.

Aha, so it's ventilation, I have a few such holes. 👍🏻
