“Pressboard” attic walkway

Bigger problem with most attics is that the structure isn’t rated for any additional load in the first place so the thickness of the “walkways” is kinda irrelevant.

That never stopped anyone from storing 1,000 lbs of Christmas and Halloween decorations up there!

With conventual framing, I don’t see a problem with attic storage.

That is so true. :man_facepalming:

That’s why I never worried too much about what they used to walk on as long as it spanned 16" and at least 5/8" or more in thickness and nailed in. It will support your weight. 24" centers, I would expect 3/4" thickness to stay on the safe side no matter what they used, will support a man’s weight of normal size. LOL
