If one is planning to board one's loft them Loft Legs are the way to go. They are made from re-cycled plastic and are very robust. The base is narrow and will fit on the narrowest of rafters while the top is quite large for supporting the raised floor. The bottom has four moulded countersinks for screwing to the rafter. However, these are not actual holes so are best drilled out before beginning work. It would be possible to lay loft boards directly on top of the Loft Legs but I prefer to lay 3 X 2 s to ensure better spread of the load and a level surface. In older properties it is unlikely that the rafter will be level so some packing may be necessary. My approach is to mark up the 3 X 2 for the rafter positions, then screw down the loft legs through their top surface from underneath then flip over the 3 X 2 and then screw down the feet to the rafters. The result is very strong. I find Reisser Cutter screws the easiest to use in this application.
