Hello,
We live in a 70s house with a cold attic where there is guldfiber between each roof truss in the following way:
I have been up there a couple of times for minor jobs, and even the electrician has crawled around there. It is really not fun to reach all the way out to the eaves when you don't have anything good to walk on. In the middle of the path, we do have plates sporadically which are reinforced underneath with beams, i.e. quite heavy to move around.
The question is what would be convenient to have here; it should be able to withstand the weight when spanning over 2 roof trusses but preferably not too heavy and cumbersome to move around.
Then I might as well ask how you do it when performing work under these guldfiber mats? So far, I have cut them where the work is needed (2 places), which doesn't feel good or optimal. It sounds so simple to just roll them up and then roll them out again, but it's incredibly difficult to reach and to roll them out and lay them nicely all the way out in the eaves feels more or less impossible with the way it is now. And yet I have hung onto the roof trusses quite a bit out there.

I would buy a couple of 45x195 reglar and cut them to a suitable length (if you have cc 120 maybe around 140 cm is good, or if you want to span over two and have space to handle it then around 260 is appropriate) so you can move these to where you are working at the moment...

Common studs, i.e., not pressure-treated.

Exactly, and as sinuslinus says: Not pressure-treated but regular ones.
Pressure-treated ones contain chemicals that are unnecessary unless you're building a deck etc - plus they can smell indoors...
