I am planning to build a timber floor across my daughters very high ceilinged room. (Basically a raised bed platform) I am going to make what I think is referred to as a ledger board to run across each opposite wall and suspend the joists off this. The floor is big enough for a double bed and that's about it. For added stability the joists at either end will be fitted into the walls instead of suspended off the ledger board. My question is how to fix into the walls; one is brick and the other is concrete blocks (not the crumbly breeze block type) and I plan to use sleeve bolts. Will this be strong enough? Joists will be spaced at 450mm and will be 145x45. I expect to use 6 bolts on either side of the floor. The span is 3M max.
