The Roof Trusses above my garage are 2x4 construction (home built 5 years

V's in the truss, and it is an extremly high pitch, 10 feet plus height at
the center). Additionally as the home is in NY State the fire code
necessitated double layer 5/8" fire retardant drywall. I only want to
store lawn furniture (light weight aluminum and seat cushions), but to do
that I would want to lay down plywood, aproximately 8 feet wide better the
V's of the truss in the center where I would have the plywood floor.
Will this be safe?

I certainly hope so, since I have my commercial workspace located in
exactly the same type of setup. The detached garage is about 7 years
old. My actual walking space is 24X12 (minus stairs), and I use the
lower, slanted ceiling floor space between the rafters for storage. I
have a LOT of weight up there (industrial machines, fabric, etc.) and
the building inspector signed off with no problem. We didn't put in any
drywall at all though, although there's no plumbing, heat, nor AC. I'm
in NY, too.
