It depends upon how big the loft is but remember if you've only put boards down that does nothing to make the joists stronger so if you're planning on putting heavy stuff you may not get as much light things.

so would i need to get the structure stronger then.

Normally only if you wanted to start using it as a room. Most of us have all sorts of junk spread out in the loft. I've used old doors and kitchen/bedroom units to board mine, but i try to not put to much weight on any one spot.

Good luck with getting the heavy items that you seem worried about, up the ladder into the loft.
