You've definitely got patience, using such small osb sheets. Would have been so much quicker getting 4x8 sheets of osb.
@_Miner5 ай бұрын
and probably half the price, those loft sheets are way more expensive and generally that size so you can get them through the loft hatch.

The right sheets to use are 8*2 and are thicker than them. Loft ones are only for light duty

Generally you'd want to put in the noggins/cross bracing first, because if the joists are twisted and you force them back, it might twist the joist away from the OSB sheets, but as you glued and screwed it, you're probably going to be fine. 😂❤

You should have bought the 18mm caber board sheets which are 2400 x 600mm Also don’t screw the boards down until you’ve got the third row down
@peterthorogood70255 ай бұрын
The only reason you should use those small boards is for an attic that doesn't has space to get a proper 8 by 2 sheet up. And butting the joints is actually more important when the ends are t and g. That way the boards either side help give that joint strength.

@andrewr78575 ай бұрын
Too late now, but you should have staggered the boards to land on different joists each row. Also should have used egger d4 flooring glue as wood glue won’t do much on a floor after you’ve walked on it a bit, but it will probably be fine with all those screws in it.

Looks gd. If were me I’d fill in the floor between the mezzanine and the stud wall give u a touch more floor space. Or u could put stair along the back of the stud wall save u losing to much floor space still shelve under the stairs
@metrotechguru58635 ай бұрын
Others may piss and moan about the size of the OSB you used or whether you staggered joints, but I say you did a fine job with what you had. The floor is well supported and should last a good long time. Always a pleasure to watch, Nick. Good on you.
@pbarnfield5 ай бұрын
Those OSB boards are ok as long as you do a staggered bond against each row, they do lock in reasonably well. For extra security a scrap of wood screwed across both would've been ample - or noggins as you say. Job well done I'd say, couple it with some hand rail for safety and all will be good! When I had a shop I used to love doing stuff like this too, but now using a kitted out garage for my business instead!
