...to be done – which I think is going to be a push for me to do (given my plastering abilities). I’m thinking about investing in a pair of stilts to do the job, as I can think that otherwise I’ll be wasting valuable time going up and down, and moving ladders. I don’t want to spend...

...another 100mm at right angles etc (total equates to about 300mm with existing,rotting, insulation. I need storage so will be using loft stilts. Looking at info it's advised to fit these before laying second level of insulation etc. I won't be boarding the whole loft but not sure how...

...(or instruction!) please. I need to board out my loft, purely for storage, but I've fallen at the first hurdle. I've bought some loft stilts (Diall loft storage stilts) to raise the boards above the insulation and 18mm T&G board from B&Q but I have a question regarding the direction of the...

...to buy a playhouse for my children and having found several have settled on the Mad Dash playhouse range. Ideally i would like the one on stilts as i can then box in the space underneath the playhouse and also use this for storage of bikes/ride ons etc. However, on contacting the seller was...

Hi. About to start flooring my loft with stilts as insulation is high. I'm not sure what to do with the loft ladder and how to fit it. From what I have seen loft ladders are attached to the hatch frame and also the loft floor. If I have stilts throughout the ladder won't fit to the elevated...

Anyone had experience with these? If so any good? http://www.diy.com/nav/build/insulation/loft-insulation/loft_storage_stilt/Diall-Loft-Storage-Stilts-12-Pack-11837507

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to build a rear extension on stilts? We need another bedroom but to build out on two floors would mean the ground floor going over drains and the start of a sewer pipe. It would also take away our turning circle meaning we could not pull a car onto the back...

...In case you cant open the link, the EAN is 4074212. They are plastic stilts that allow you to have another 30cm of insulation below your loft boards. An excellent idea given most lofts dont have deep joists. Has anyone used them or come across them? They look like they might be a bit flimsy...

...of materials i need in order to board the loft, but i was wondering if my insulation will be 200mm above the rafters then will i need the stilts to be at least 200mm in height also, so that i dont condense/squash the insulation? if anybody could guide me to the correct products that i need...

Hi DIY Community, Really struggling to find the best solution to a DIY project i have. I have built a 7 stilted raised playhouse for my daughter and the location in the garden i wanted it to go has an incline of about 5cm....so this issue of levelling comes into play. I dont want to build a...

About to board out my loft but the more I think about it the more it gets complicated. Is it better to make a frame out of wood like this one http://www.loft-boarding-nw.co.uk/media/loft-insulation-mini.jpg or to use a stilt system from B & Q? or as I have recently seen on this site as...

Would this be overkill for homemade loft flooring support, was looking at the loft stilts, but they all look really flimsy and have heard they warp, so was wondering about making my own using 28 x 140 to get above the insulation then 38 x 63 (or smaller if people thing smaller possible) and then...

...authority with my plans and there are no restrictions. Both neighbours have no problem with the plans either. My query though is about the stilts I intend the fix the summer house and decking onto, rather than a concrete base. I've never used timber as a structural base in this way before --...

What about wearing stilts?

I'm adding insulation to my loft (200mm over an existing 6") and want to put stilts in now so that when I board on top of the insulation in the future, I won't have to poke around in the (fibreglass) insulation. But I'm doing the job on a budget. I was looking at loft legs or similar, but...

Precisely - on stilts which then sit on the concrete oversite along with a strip of plastic dpc under the props.

Thanks for the replies noseall - do you mean you supported the joists on stilts mid-span ? wouldn't the stilts just sink into the soil underneath ? ta

i went with the stilts from BnQ - actually made a pretty sold platform and quite rigid.. pre drilled the stilts - looks neat and tidy up there now!
