strength of timber
Fwom:Zipadee Doodar )
Since your 'Local authority planning officer' recommended 'doubling up' presumably he also suggested some method of attachment. Can you say what method of attachment he suggested, if any? Using PVA glue to BS 4051 with screws driven through at 6 inch distance - for storage purposes only remember. We are not talking a full scale loft conversion here. Thats the standard method. I would not consider countersinking, you need to use screws meaty enough for the job, not tiddlers lost in big holes and wood like swiss cheese. But.... whats your existing joist size? Very few houses have joists so weak you cant use them for box storage as is. There's a fair bit of miswhatnot about this subject. NT |
