We also have some wires and pipes running on the trusses and need to floor around these.
3 walls are load bearing and the trusses run from one load bearing wall to the non-load bearng wall (one double wide garage door).

- adding attic floor to trussed attic for storage
I am wanting to add new subflooring in a garage attic with 2X8 joists that are 16" on center to cover about 15 ft wide and 30 ft long to store many differnt things, some books, clothes, furniture, etc.
Is 20 pounds per linear foot for dead weight and 40 pounds per linear foot for live weight the correct values to use. Will the 2 X 8 joists hold the weight I am planning to do I need to add support?
Can anyone help?
