Can this be used for a loft? A standard attic ladder won't work because it needs continuous studs on both sides.

Yes, because the top of the ladder frame is bolted to a joist. See manufacture for correct size of ladder.

the way this ladder mounts is a little different than a typical attic ladder it needs 22.5 inches width of room for the ladder. the ladder mounts on a single stud that you run perpindicular to the trusses or joists depending on the ceiling. keep in mind that you have to make your own door out of plywood.it will have the hardware to mount it, and it is fairly steep like the picture.

Yes I believe it can. The ladder itself only connects to the front side. You can see it in the instructions at the link I just put at the end of this message. I would just make sure that the member you are attaching it too is sturdy enough, that is why it comes with brackets to shore up the corners of an attic opening. Hope this helps. us.wernerco.com/docs/userguides/aa8.pdf?status=master

It's basically a smaller version of a standard atic ladder so you need the joist support on both sides. Awesome space saver though...hope this helped.

The difficulty is in finding a stud in the ceiling, how high your ceiling is and getting the rods exactly parallel. There are things to consider. I had a very small laundry room space to work with, so getting an 8 foot ladder in there, installing where when clothes are hung long items won't hit people in the face coming in from the garage and making sure the doors don't sweep the bottom of long hanging clothes were all considerations. In addition, I wanted to allow several inches from the drywall to not risk damp clothes causing the drywall to become damp.

It would work just make sure ur holes are drilled in the right place. It's a really good ladder for the money I am happy with mine.

I used drywall screws (instead of the screws that come with it), and it seems pretty secure in the drywall.The mounting holes are about 28" apart, so you will not be able to get both sides in a stud. It's not that heavy though, so it shouldn't be a problem.

There's nothing that lends itself to easily attaching a wider tray to the top. The small tray that is on the ladder is designed mostly to hold screws, nails, etc...small "stuff." If you're creative you could probably design something to meet your needs, but my concern would be that unless it was attached VERY securing it would fall off or break with any moderate weight.

simple no,, you could jerryrig it but it would be unsafe and unwise it is designed for extension ladders

Yes you can, however what I would do is bolt a 2x4 across the two studs and then bolt this to the 2x4. It will work great. God bless and have a great and safe week. let me know how it turns out. t

Yes. No problem at all. I installed this on the bottom of the top chord of my trusses in my attic using a slap stapler. Key is to get it nice a stretched out. My recommendation, if you are working in a small space or on a ladder, pre-measure and cut the sections accordingly. Then roll them up as individual pieces and unroll and staple as you. Did about 3,000 SF and started this about half way through and it worked much better than other methods tried.

If your deck railing is strong enough, the x-it ladder will have no issues. But give it a try from the ground to know for sure!

Should be ok to use while on a ladder. It is very lightweight and can be used with one hand.

No. This is not suitable for attic use. There are several attic exhaust fans on the market that would work much better. Amazon has a couple different Broan roof mount units,but your use is dependent on attic size, attic shape, inlet air size, placement, power supply, and other air outlets. I would recommend thermostat and humidity control. I would suggest contacting a building or roofing contractor for help. It can get a little complicated to properly size a unit.

I'm not sure what you mean by an attic ladder. If you want a pull down ladder, then I would say no. If what you want is a ladder that you can conveniently store in a closet, and use when you want to gain access to a hatch, then I would say yes.

I am sure it would work on the ladder but I don't know what type of mount you would use, I have always mounted mine permanent.and it works perfect.

Short answer: No. The bunk bed (at least ours) is not designed for a left sided ladder mount. With some rigging, the ladder could be probably be placed on the left hand side of the bed, but the real problem is that the side rails on the top bunk cannot be attached to the right side of the bed, so you would climb the ladder and have to climb over the rail. And, you would still have the intended opening for the ladder on the right side of the top bunk.

Because this ladder is a one-use-only model, we haven't practiced with it, but we also have a downstairs window directly under our bedroom window. I would hesitate to use it in that situation simply because there is a better than even chance that flames would/could be shooting out that lower window. We have decided that if we need it to use it, we'll crawl out another upstairs window with nothing but wall under it.

Yes but it requires reframing a little. You end up cutting out a ceiling joist or two to do it. It means you have to box in where you are going to install the ladder. You first have to reinforce the joists. If you read the install directions or get a book on framing. It shows how to do it. Just do not cut blindly. There are wires and other obstacles to look out for.

Yes, but you will need to drill the holes with a drill for metal. If you dont want to drill the holes then it is only Right side ladder.
