...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...

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...

...(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...

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

Just had a loft ladder installed and looking to possibly DIY the insulation and boarding. i have no idea when it comes to which types 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...

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...

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...

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...

I am going to board my loft after it is insulated to current standards today- i have been told that i will have to use "loft Stilts" (http://loftstoragestilts.com/) as if i use 3x2 rafters the height will not be enough? Has anybody got experience of these things? see below plan- this is my...

The loft of my 1964 bungalow (of conventional brick and tile construction) has 300 mm of glass fibre insulation (100 between joist and 200 on top). Not wishing to lose the use of the loft, I have installed 200mm plastic stilts. On top of the stilts are plywood pads of varying thickness (20-60mm)...

It’s been asked before but is there any alternatives to raising the loft floor to accommodate additional insulation? 70% of the loft is boarded with 22mm chipboard and a ton of crap loaded on it! No issues with loading over the last few years. I’m getting the insulation topped up to 270mm so...

...and then chipboarding over the top as that seems like quite a lot of additional weight with all the cross joists/battens. I could use loft stilts/ loft legs, extra insulation roll and then chipboard, but this seems like quite a lot of effort as by my calculations, for the area I want to...

Hi there, I'm looking for advice on how to best board a section of my loft in my new build house for light storage. I was considering loft stilts but then that would mean stepping over those horizontal truss braces all the time. Would it be acceptable to put batons up from the ceiling joists to...

...in that its part boarded and has about 50mm of current insulation in 100mm joists. I would want to reboard it after insulating on loft stilts in the middle 1/4 of the loft. Would their installation bear this in mind or am I better doing it myself at a pace that I can fit stilts as I go etc...

do you already have stilts fitted in the loft ??

I was kindly given a brand new shower by a friend. However on inspection I will need to upgrade the loft tank to a larger size (50gallon) to avoid problems with cold water supply. Currently I have an old asbestos tank (25gallon) which I will leave in the loft until I can get it out safely and...

i dont like loft stilts they do not spread the load you would need stilts at around 280 centre to give the same support as 2 parallel timbers at 400 centres go for 4x2 timber at 90%

...also the one that most recommend ECO Space Board is now discontinued. Alternatives were very costly. Ive also used the Diall loft stilts before in a previous loft these worked well and provided a stable platform however i spent around 200pound on stilts and only managed to board out a...
