Loft Stilts (Ok to walk on?)

[Aruffell]

Hi all,

Have a house that's 2 years old now and running out of storage so was looking to maximise the loft as much as I can so was looking at loft storage stilts much like - https://www.diy.com/departments/diall-loft-storage-stilt-pack-of-12/181925_BQ.prd

Anyone had experience using these? I'm guessing walking on them should be fine as you'd be spreading the load across the joists which I currently walk across to put boxes etc... up there.

Any experiences would be great to hear about.

Thanks.

I put them in 2 years ago, no problems at all with walking on them. Only thing I would say is if they don't come fully pre-drilled (mine didn't) to attach to the joists, then drill them through first. It just makes them a bit easier to fix.

It doesn't look like they come pre-drilled but will keep that in mind.

I have some things that weigh around 15-20kg. I'm guessing that would be ok for semi-long term storage weight?

Thanks.
