Setting up the Loft Leg is a straightforward process. You will need to fix the stilts directly to your existing loft trusses or ceiling joists using appropriate screws. They are specifically designed to fit standard 100mm wide joists, raising the floor by a consistent 175mm. Ensure each leg is securely fastened to provide a stable and level base for your subsequent loft boards. Basic DIY tools, such as a drill, screwdriver, and measuring tape, are generally all that's required. The Loft Legs are compatible with various types of loft insulation, particularly mineral wool or quilt insulation, accommodating depths up to 270mm. They are intended for creating elevated storage space and are not designed to support heavy structural loads or be used in habitable loft conversions. Care for the Loft Legs themselves is minimal, as they are manufactured from durable recycled polypropylene, built for long-term stability within a loft environment. Periodically, especially after heavy use, it is advisable to check the securement of the legs and loft boards to ensure continued stability.
