Cable tray supports needed

[Pat H]

I'm looking at fitting some cable trays in a domestic loft.
I need them to sit 150mm above the current ceiling joists running across those joists.
I'm struggling to find and tray supports that stand up from a wooden joist. Plenty of options to hang trays but that's not practical.
Any ideas?
I could get a chippy to make me wooden stand off but if I ca get buy something it's easier.
Thanks

Most of the hangers can also be screwed down onto timber, just use them upside down?

I could do that but they don't offer much side to side support. The whole tray could move sidewsrds and collapse. But I could sort that with 2 diagonal supports.

Is there a reason why you wouldn't consider strut & rod?

You could just use unistrut the same as you would for any other tray installation.

Or make some timber supports.

I'd need a C shaped one or my tray will end up vertical rather than flat.

A C shaped what?

I would just make up some timber supports , I keep 4 x 2 in my garage for situations where I need to knock up some frame or supports

Thanks. Yes that's the simple solution.

Unistrut is like Meccano. There are any number of ways it can be used to achieve what you need.

Have you even looked a Unistrut catalogue the only limit is your imagination when it comes to building brackets to suit an application

4 x 2 timbers is cheapest and easiest option. or even rescue a pallet from a skip. break up and use. cross braces as and when needed.

Use uni strut with zebs and gutter bolts. If tightened adequately shouldn’t slide off, or use 2 smaller bits of uni strut to make a 90 degree either end to stop this happening.
