Insulate between the rafters

[Mikeybikey1966]

I have a loftspace that is boarded out and I now want to insulate between the rafters to make it a better environment for storage. The rafters are 100mm and I will be leaving a 50mm gap for airflow.

What do I do when I get down to the eaves? Do I need to cut the insulation sheets with a chamfer to close the gap the same as I would do at the ridge, or is there a product to fill this potential gap?

Cut down to the bottom where it will meet floor.
Your going to need vents in roof at the top near ridge and vented soffit.
Keep the air flowing

Thank for the quick reply. The boarding doesn't go all the way to the side. I can see some insulation for the last 300mm. There are plenty of vents in the roof already.

You need to block off with flooring to the edge to seal room or cold air will blow through.
Maybe other ways of doing it.

What ideas did you have?

I don't have any ideas as yet, hence my question to the forum.
