will this ladder work in a situation where it involves a gable window exiting to sloped roof? 10/12 slope

First of all you leave a lot of unanswered questions. Does the window open, how high is it off the ground and what is the depth of the sill? The latter comes into links 13 foot and 25 foot so will it reach the ground?Fortunately I have not had to use it yet. In any case it is an emergency latter and would be better than having to burn up!

I purchased for the same type of exit. Hook it on the window, cover 10 feet of sloping roof plus 15 foot drop to ground; hence 25 foot ladder. I don't care if the window opens or not. If there is a fire, I am going out that hole and down that ladder. Better than a 15 foot jump :-)

Hello, Thank you for the question.Would depend on if the climbing stand has a shooting rail that's incorporated with it, or if you plan to leave the climber in the tree and use some of the tree steps to get in and out with it. Other wise we would have to say no.Thank youWorldGoodsCorp

Hi Lorinda, I do not believe that this opener would work in that application unless the door drops directly from the bottom of the coup allowing the opener to lift verticaly as it is designed to do--Jon

We did not hang it on a sloped ceiling. However, since this product works on a lift system, I am thinking that you might not be happy with the results. It would be akin to hanging window blinds (which work on the same type of lift system) on a slant. Although it might work OK when unit is empty, full of clothes the rods can get quite heavy and this might cause you a problem.

I don't believe I would recommend that. It is more for situations when there is something supporting the ladder from behind, such as a house elevation, etc. I probably would not do well with nothing supporting it from behind.

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

Yes just be careful because the width is as one of the steps, but I use it and the ladder is so light!

The "box" portion of the extender actually makes the ladder rail effectively a few inches longer, and is very sturdy, so...as long as the ladder itself actually makes it to the roof line, you should have no problems.

I do not know if it would work. We use it to get in our front door, which is only one step onto the porch and then a second ramp for the one step into the front hall. We haven't even tried it for the 2 steps down to our family room, as that looked too steep. My best guess would be that it would be very steep.

Can this be mounted on a sloped roof three feet from the edge of the roof(height is only 7 feet at the edge)?

X-IT 3 Story (23 ft) Emergency ladders should work just fine. To be on safe side, I would measure from your window sill to the sidewalk and order accordingly.

You would probably still need a ladder. It might work, but would be awkward. I wouldn't recommend it.

yes, it will work very well. i got a 24foot ladder. i live on 3rd floor. it is very heavy duty. it would hold a lot of weight.

Yes, you should be able to use it. If you look close at the picture, you'll see the yellow "hooks". The way the ladder works, the rounded part of the hooks put pressure on the wall, or molding, around the bottom of the window. Then the flat part of the hooks lay across the bottom of the actual window frame. Its the pressure against the wall or molding that secures the ladder, not the part laying across the bottom of the frame.

Yes I believe it would. it's fairly long a shorter ladder might be better just because when you step on the bottom of the long ladder if that's a lot of leverage on the brackets. but if you keep that in mind yes it would work

At 18 inches it would be easy to fall out the window as you get the ladder ready to use. When you put it out the window it is nice to have some wall to lean against when you release it.

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!
