(More customer reviews)I'm one of those people who's kinda sorta handy, but for some reason I STINK when it comes to measuring & cutting wood, and making it fit in places where it wouldn't normally go. Our attic is just beams & insulation, and until last spring didn't even have an entrance beyond a 3-foot by 4-foot hole in the ceiling.
But my wife and I were determined to use this space for storage. We had a fold-down attic ladder/door installed, but then nothing else was done for almost a whole year after that. The daunting task now awaited us of buying a TON of plywood, measuring it so that it would fit through the door- yet be wide enough to lay over the beams, cutting it all up, and lastly finding a reliable way to secure it to the beams- all the while trying to work in a confined space that was hot as blazes in the summer or bone-chilling in the winter.
That's where Attic Dek came in. I remember someone telling me they had seen or heard about some type of attic flooring at a home/trade show, and I decided to punch 'attic flooring' into Google & see what turned up. Attic Dek was one of the first results, and I knew almost immediately that I wanted it for my own project. The salespeople at Attic Dek were extremely nice, but they first suggested I order one pack of the panels (I needed the more expensive 24"), and see how I liked it. Needless to say, I called back a few weeks later to place my order of 10 more packs.
It's just an ingenious invention- the way the panels interlock with each other makes installation VERY easy- you can even offset the panels if you have one area that's wider than another. They all just fit together perfectly... My attic is now a fully-functional storage space, and I was finally able to put my car in the garage after nearly 2 years of living in my house!
The *only* negative you will come across has to do with the screws. You have to be a bit gentle when driving into the beams, because sometimes the heads of the screws will pop off. I had this happen 2-3 times before I recognized the problem. Be forceful when drilling, but go slow.
