[QUOTE="Blk91stang, post: 16853151, member: 23906"] I'd remove the insulation down to the joist in the areas you want to use for storage and install plywood or those grates. If the insulation is lacking, I'd use mineral wool (Roxul) for higher performance so you don't lose much R value and compared to fiberglass, much better air sealing. I'm just finishing up my attic for more storage and went this route. Pulled all of the blow in, fiberglass batts, re-ran some wire, added lighting and switches, then filled with Roxul batts, plywood, padding, and carpet on top so it's easier on my knees. Bins slide easily as well. This was a big project but the halfass insulation job made it an easy decision for me. I can't comment on the attic grates and can't imagine how many things I'd drop through it and get pissed about. Also redid the stairs and insulation leading up.
