dukhnt Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Just installed an attic ladder in my garage. Now I am going to lay a floor down. My question is What thickness of OSB to go with so I don't have to worry about only stepping on the rafters. My rafters are 24 inches on center.

pureinsanity Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I personally would go with 3/4" just to have that extra sturdiness depending what you will have up there or be moving around and how heavy that item will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleye Guy Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I used 5/8 in my garage and it is very solid. Cant go wrong with either 5/8 or 3/4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redlantern Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Are the trusses designed to be used for storage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surface Tension Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Are the trusses designed to be used for storage? This matters in that if its a regular truss your not going to put much weight up there or spend much time up there.You can use 1/2 osb and H clips if your have a regular truss. If this was an attic or room truss then you'd use 3/4 osb t&g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
