Ladder attic
Ladder Attic
What am I talking about? Just a quick post today to address some of the questions that were sent to us recently about loft ladders and there was a particular good one addressed “ladder attic”. I asked the sender of the email to send it through as a post so that we can all see it and have a laugh as I cannot paste it in my post without permission…
Mostly asked questions in the last month were about sourcing and installation of loft ladders so I’ll have to speed up with my post on the complete installation process and I’ll address some of the questions in this post that we had regarding sourcing a good quality loft ladder.
We have a lot of email saying that folks go to a hardware store and find no attic ladder or they spoke to staff and they say it is available and can order it in. The ladder will be there in a few weeks time and the price tag is rather unattractive.
Well the price as with anything else will represent the quality in most of the cases and you should be concerned about the quality of your loft ladder. You might be able to compromise on the finish in case it will be in the garage or something but you need a good quality product for safety and longevity. You wouldn’t want to replace your ladder in a year or two.
Particularly if the ladder will be used frequently. One of the biggest disadvantage of the cheaper loft ladders is that they may not be suitable for frequent usage. They are OK if you use them a few times a month.
We also got some of our readers saying they are having challenges sourcing the loft ladder online as well. At the time I write this post I have not come across a good quality loft ladder e-commerce site so hopefully it is not that far away…

Great posts on loft ladders and the likes. I have been looking for some info on how to cut the legs of a loft ladder I bought a few moths ago but still not have had time to install. There is some info in the instructions but I am not confident doing it based on that…
