Got my crawl space dug out so I can move around. Want to insulate w/ R19
bats. Joists are 2x6 approx. 24 inches on center. What's the best way to
hold up the insulation? Can't staple the flanges since they need to face up
towards the heated surface. Can't use the "wire struts" since the 24" on
center is only approximate. (? 1/2 inch). Was considering cutting strips
of Mylar and stapling them to the studs under the insulation.

Any other thoughts????

Thanks!!!

Hi,
Friction fit will do. I did it at my cabin crawl space and no bats fell
off. I used R20 fiberglass bats 16 in. OC between joist.
