insulating a trussed roof.

[Big Jimbo]

Any good ideas for insulating a trussed roof, It's not going to be very tall, and the idea of trying to get up there which will be a mass of timbers, and trying to get a good 3 or 4 layers of fluffy stuff will be a nightmare. any i've seen done have always looked a right mess.

I would have to obviously have to protect the eaves to allow for the airflow into the cold loft.

You can get plastic contraptions which would sit above the insulation, so you can fully fill the eaves but maintain airflow. Lots of options, this is one: https://www.bcprofiles.co.uk/products/manthorpe-refurb-cross-flow-panel-25mm-x-400mm?variant=41199809298595&gclid=CjwKCAjw04yjBhApEiwAJcvNoa3M4krjrGdMNgrGvlf81ewC6oO5Z5D2WW_JDChLhAnnxRZzbbhjnBoClnAQAvD_BwE
