Sim in the loft?
Hi everyone.
Im stuck for space as to where to put my sim, my house has a big loft.
I dont have a garage or anything, is this a good idea or bad news?
Im just worried about a rather heavy 747 sim comming through my roof.

Careful, A shed for a 747 sim might be larger than what you are allowed to put up without planning permission.

There are a number of factors. The simplest answer is to Google it as there is a Government website that will provide the guidance you seek.

This provides a general outline. I think it is safe to say that any Garden shed capable of housing a 747 sim will be larger than 10 cubic metres in volume and so require planning permission.
Also I dont think that a Shed is the best place. My shed is cold, damp and insects are present. There has also been mice in the past that chewed through a load of patio seat covers.
A loft will probably need extra joists installed as the amount of weight involved might overload most common roof joists. For example when my parents house had a loft extension installed lots of metal I beams were installed across the walls. This was only to support the floor. I would guess that loft flaw boarding is usually just for boxes of Christmas decorations and old suitcases.
Good luck.
Tom.
