The problem is the miltitude of struts.

For the benefit of those unfamiliar with the terminology:

The bits that run horizontally across the building and to which the ceiling boards are bolted are the joists.

The bits that complete the triangle that suports the roof are the rafters.

The pieces that are connected at 90 degrees to the rafters and 45 degrees to the joists are the struts.

There are other bits but they do not get in the way.

If I was able to remove some of the structs it would be relatively easy to lay boards to make a "floor". The trouble is that they are there to support th rafters.

Replace the struts with vertical struts. Not all at once.
