Cabinet under a sloped roof 47 in

A cabinet of 47 in with a sloped top, made to fit snugly under a roof pitch. Three shelves fill the triangle.

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

The top runs at an angle with the roof, so you use the space right into the point. The shelves get shorter toward the low side.

What makes this design special

Uses the model’s slope feature: a tall side, a short side and a sloped top. The cut list draws out the angled cut.

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 2 sheets 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.
