Temporary Attic Walkway

Place the first plywood sheet on top of the 2x structure starting by the attic entrance.

Temporary attic walkway.

Fastdeck is strong yet still lightweight and easy to store. Fastdeck temporary flooring has limitless applications. Attic flooring intended for a living space must be installed in compliance with building codes. The floor must extend beyond the insulation so that the insulation is properly covered.

We used leftover plywood scraps to build ours an attic walkway also needs enough support. Ultimately a temporary walkway will protect both users and the ground underfoot. The intent is to lay down the boards and the ends should attach to a ceiling rafter. Building a nonpermanent walkway protects the grass and ground from getting ripped up.

Use fastdeck in any situation where one needs a layer of protection from the ground. With the right kind of temporary sidewalk not a single mark will be left on the ground underneath. This is because the horizontal chords are the strongest part of the attic. Some communities will allow homeowners to do their own construction but they are still subject to.

The surface itself just has to be strong enough to handle your weight along with tools and gear. The attic walkway is constructed so that sits above the horizontal chords of your attic. Because of this the space is able to supporting heavy loads.
