How to board a loft with stilts | DIY

[@harrybarnes4093]

Do I need the joists or is it ok without them

[@bandq]

Hi, there. We secure the stilts to the joists within the video so it is something we recommend doing. Hope this helps. 😊

Helpful video. Would you say standing on joists is fine or would you recommend leaning on boards ?

Standing on joists is fine

[@bandq]

Hi there, this would be fine. However, we would recommend using something to kneel on as it will be more comfortable and stable 😊

Which screw are you used in this video? The link to the items doesn't detail it. Thank you!

[@bandq]

Hi there! The length of screw required would vary depending on the thickness of the boards you're using.

@@bandq Hey, thank you for the quick reply! Do you have a guide of which it would be for what thickness please?
Also which screws were used to connect the loft boards to the stilts please.
Thank you!

@@zishaanmalik1694 The recommended board thickness for lofts is 18mm. The size of screws to use is 5x30mm.
I hope this helps.
