Re: Loft storage ...

Hi,

I had been looking at Loft Legs because Wickes sell them:
https://www.wickes.co.uk/Loftleg-Raised-Floor-Loft-Legs---175mm-Pack-of-12/p/100412

However I have been warned about putting a floor in my loft because I
have quite small ceiling joists.
Given that I just want to store suitcases, empty boxes etc... I am not
sure how big a problem it is?

I guess just the weight of the chipboard floor could make it a risk?
