Attic build

I have an attic space that's pretty good size but it has no flooring, there's a bunch of middle support beams and fiber glass inbetween , but the opening to my attic is a small square hole bandits 2 ft x 2 ft all the way around. Does anyone know the best type of wood to use for flooring? or something that I can bring in in smaller pieces and kind of put together? Any help would be appreciated

1 x 4 or 1 x 6 lumber or hardwood flooring planks

Like he said^^^^ just get some 1x6 or something. You could even get cheap osb and just rip it down and put it back at the rip when you get it in the attic.

Just use 3/4" sheets of plywood and nail/screw it down. Cheap and less pieces. It's what I use when installing furnaces in residential attics.

So fold them or roll them up?

Lay the sheet down flat across the ceiling joists. The joists provide plenty of support.

So just stuff a 4x8 sheet up there thru that opening?

Well, his has to be some variation of 2ft wide..(i.e. 3/4" x 2' x 4') Bigger the piece the better. You just have to make sure you lay it down flat and centered as possible across the joists/ support beams. You can even lay down more sheets as a walkway.

On a side note, an attic will get very hot. Make sure you have proper ventilation and cooling.

Just like this. Using as big a sheet of plywood as you can fit into the attic access.

I like the hardwood flooring idea especially since I have like three stacks just laying in my garage. If anyone needs any message me and we can work something out to get it to you!
