Looking for lb/sq ft rating
Looking for lb/sq ft rating
(OP)
I have a 12' x 12' loft made of 3/4" thick plywood. There are 2" x 4" studs spaced with a center to center distance of 16". I need to put up warning signs for maximum load per sq foot on this loft but cannot remember or find the proper calculation. Thanks.

Addidionally, what the walls frame to below would have to be checked as this could also limit the capacity of the loft in the bigger picture.

What supports the 3/4" plywood floor? Do you have truss joists? Lumber joists? What is the spacing? What is the span?
