Hi
Can anyone help me out with some advice
I have moved into a new house and looking to floor the loft using Loftleg due to the new insulation the previous owner put in this will need to be raised.
Not sure if I am looking at this wrong...see photos.
Loft leg website asks to check if the joists are 400mm or 600mm apart. Looking at my loft I am a little confused. There is the circled section in the photo 1 and distance in Photo 2, these are 1400mm apart (wimpey 1960s house).
Then there is the X section in the photos while look like ceiling supports are 500mm apart.
I would be using Loft boards that are 1220mm.
The section marked with an X to me dont look like they would handle much support, but the section marked with a circle are too far apart.
Really appreciate some advise on this.
