Hi Peter

In another thread, whitewood plain (non-T&G) floorboards were mentioned
(from Jewson, IIRC). That would be an easy, modular, way od doing the job.
The wood would have to be treated and normalised (but even OSB needs
normalising).


Yes, I will price up floorboarding to check the relative costs. I've a
feeling 4ft by 2ft panels will be easier to lay though.


I'd like to know the results, please. I did look at Jewsons' site but
couldn't see any and I'm too far from doing the job to ring atm.

I'd prefer panels but can't get them up there on my own (8x4 will just
about go but need angling and steering carefully), so floorboards, in spite
of the need to treat them, would be manageable.


why would you need to treat them?
