Hiya,
I've been planning to install some loft boarding in our new build (2011) to give us a bit of extra storage for light things like suitcases, Christmas tree, empty boxes temporarily etc.
Our joists are 35mm by 100mm high and they span 8 metres by 4.5 metres. The roof being a new build is truss style.
I was originally planning to board the entire area, but have become slightly concerned about its weight. The loftzone system is super light without the boards at least.
My original plan is below, but I'm thinking of revising it to just the central section between the supports for the roof.
Any advice on whether this is safe?
