Attic cabinet with angled door 24 in

A narrow attic cabinet of 24 × 43 in with a single door that follows the sloping roof: the door is cut off diagonally at the top, and that angled cut line is in the cutting plan.

Schematic front view of the layout. The sizes in the cut list are what counts.

The door follows the roof pitch, so the cabinet closes tight against the sloped ceiling. Behind the door, two shelves. This is the example to see how cutlistlab draws a diagonally cut door into the cutting plan, with the cut line and the angle.

What makes this design special

A single door across the full width at the top of a sloped cabinet picks up the angled cut automatically. In the cutting plan you see the door as a pentagon with the diagonal cut, the waste as a triangle and the angle in degrees.

These are the cut sizes the cabinet designer computes (edge banding and kerf included). For drawers and doors, always check the clearance your own slides and hinges need.

Open this project in the cabinet designer with the button below. You see the cabinet in 2D right away and can change the sizes, material and layout parametrically; the panel sizes and the cutting plan follow along. Rather save it yourself?

Material and sheets needed

Based on the panel sizes above, this project takes about 1 sheet of 3/4 in (18 mm) plywood and 1 sheet of 1/4 in (6 mm) plywood (back panel). Prices vary by country and store, so check your local supplier; the tool works out the exact number of sheets and can show real prices from its material library.
