Hi Phil,
I used "loft legs"=C2=A0https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B017Z80ZYU
which look m=
uch like the "lofty" ones you mention. I had large floorboard
sized chipboa=
rd in the loft which was a nightmare to lift and replace on my own! The
end=
result seems sturdy enough.
The loft legs seemed quite good in that you could pre-screw the screws
into=
the loft leg which made is easier to hold it in place with one hand and sc=
rew it in with the other.
But yes, it's never pleasant dealing with fibreglass :(=C2=A0 Long
trousers=
, long sleeved top and a face mask helped.
Cheers,jon

Hi Guys,

Has anyone actually used any of these solutions for fitting loft boards in
=
modern lifts that have the stupid thicknesses of insulation and have any
re=
commendations for what to use and what to avoid?

I=E2=80=99ve been looking at these two solutions but have no idea which is
=
likely to be the best solution or if something else would be better - both
=
look as though they=E2=80=99ll leave me with severe fibreglass rash from
re=
aching between the top layer of insulation trying to anchor the bloody
thin=
gs to the beams... :-)
