I built two shelves that will be supported either from the ceiling and wall or preferably only the wall. One is 26" wide by 6 feet and the other is 26" by 8 feet. The plywood for the shelf part is 3/4inch thick. So I need help handing them. I will obviously screw them into the studs in the wall where they touch there but how can I support the outer edge of the shelf. There are no cross studs in the ceiling, meaning straight up from the edge of the shelf is in between studs. Note: I don't want to support the shelf with angled 2x4 underneath because there will be stuff below it.
Here are my thoughts.
-
On the edges of the shelf, where a stud is on the wall, cut 2x4 at a 45 degree angle and mount to top of shelf and up on the wall bear the ceiling. Will this be enough to support those shelves along with mounting to the studs on the wall under the back side of the shelf? I don't want angled 2x4s in the middle because I plan on putting some pretty long stuff up there and they would prevent that.

I thought about using cable and loop screws and screwing into the studs in the wall and the plywood, similar to the angled 2x4 but this would end up being more expensive I assume with the same result?
3 I could potentially do a combo of the angled 2x4 on the edges and cable to the ceiling at a joist in the middle?
What are your thoughts on these ideas and what are alternatives?
