I have a rather long but skinny and low loft space that I would like to board out for storage. I say storage but its going to have rather regular traffic.
The original joists arrangement is rather fragile and even standing in the loft will crack the sealing below. So I know I need to strengthen it.
The widest span is only just shy of 3m. So I believe the lowest profile standard joist option would be 75 x 122 wood joists spaced every 400mm. Can anyone recommend me any lower profile options? Also do I really need this for a loft space? I know I have seen many boarded out lofts with a lot less then this but have no idea what would be considered a safe option.
Any advice or options would be most appreciated
Thanks
