Evening all,
I have recently bought a house built in 2003. It has a decent loft space and in the center its around 6 1/2 feet high.
Currently there are 2 massive 2.5m (i think) boards in the loft that were obviously left when the house was built.
I am planning to lay some flooring down in the center area of the loft to store some suitcases, clothes and some baby stuff.
Currently the battons which carry the plasterboard ceiling run from the front to the back of the house. The current large boards run at a 90 degree to this side to side.
My question is if I wanted to lay some proper boards like the ones from b&q would I be best to run new supports at 90 degrees to the battons that currently support the plasterboard OR am I better to run the supports in the same direction as the existing and secure them to the base of the V uprights.
Alternatively is using something like the loft legs better and easier for this job?
Please forgive me if this makes no sense.
Mike
