Laying boards over loft insulation that’s resting on boards

[dmjones500]

Our new house has a fully boarded loft with insulation laid over the boards. We’d like to store things up there without compressing the insulation.

I’ve seen loft legs are a common solution if you’ve got joists under the insulation. Given we have boards underneath, are there any other options we should be considering to create a raised surface to add a second layer of boards?

You could fix 3b2 across the webs above the insulation with supportive legs down to the bottom chord.
