February 3, 20233 yr Afternoon guys, Could I please ask the most cost effective way of boarding out a loft area in a detached oak frame garage? Was thinking ply sheets of some sort but not sure on thickness and if they would be ok in that environment? Many thanks for any pointers!
February 3, 20233 yr Thickness depends on support spacing, and what you want to use it for but if for walking on and storage I would be using caberdeck or OSB.
February 3, 20233 yr Author Thanks for reply support is good approx 600mm between joists Looking to use as storage but will need to take weight of a person Would something like this be ok to use? https://sheetmaterialswholesale.co.uk/tg-osb-3-board-18-x-590-x-2400mm/?utm_term=&utm_campaign=&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&hsa_acc=5296178707&hsa_cam=17690785919&hsa_grp=&hsa_ad=&hsa_src=x&hsa_tgt=&hsa_kw=&hsa_mt=&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gclid=CjwKCAiA_vKeBhAdEiwAFb_nrfndxn_QNmhZes3q8kIdZ39RcB_hzYzjGCjZ7w6rcs-wloLamnnwnhoCgAgQAvD_BwE

First I would be asking, is the roof structure going to take the dead and live loads you presumably intend on imposing on it?
