Garage Ladder
Install flooring and pull down ladder over a grarage?
I have a bunch of boxes in trusses over my garage. The ceiling has open 2X4 trusses set on 24" centers. I would like to put down a simple flooring in the main open area and a pull down ladder. This would be used just for light storage such as Christmas decorations. The garage is a 2 Car garage. Is this safe for light storage? Do I need to re-enforce the trusses under where I'm adding the storage area?
The trusses are more than enough to support light storage. Just make sure to spead the weight around. Just consider that those trusses would normally have 5/8 sheetrock hanging from them. If they can hold that, they can hold your Christmas balls.
