blown loft insulation?

I have an unboarded loft that is filled with blown loft insulation, cant even see the joists I want to board it for storage, any suggestions

if the insulation is thick you can't board it without raising the c joist by adding battens 1/2" thicker than the insulation, the extra weight on the ceiling joist might be too much and cause sag. Structural engineer will tell you. Council may not allow it if in UK with the new rules out on insulation.
