Hello,
we would like to improve our single-family house from 2017 and use half of the attic as storage space.
Our roof beams are 10cm (4 inches) wide and spaced 50 to 60cm (20 to 24 inches) apart.
For the counter battens, I was thinking of using pieces measuring 60 x 35 x 200cm (24 x 14 x 79 inches) spaced at 45cm (18 inches).
For the panels, I plan to use OSB boards with a thickness of 22mm (7/8 inch) without tongue and groove, leaving a gap of 1 to 2cm (0.4 to 0.8 inch) between the boards to prevent any mold formation.
Is this setup okay so far, or is there anything else to optimize?
Best regards & thanks

Kind regards, Gabriele

Is there currently no covering on the beams, so the whole floor up to the ridge is open? No, it looks exactly the same for me as for
