Typical
view
in
loft
when
closed
All
of
our
timber
loft
ladders
are
supplied
complete
with
the
hatch
surround
(
or
casing
)
and
the
trapdoor.
Loft
ladders
are
in
three
hinged
sections
and
attached
to
the
upper
face
of
the
trapdoor.
"Typical
view
in
loft
when
closed"
(above)
shows
how
they
all
sit
on
the
trapdoor
and
require
no
space
inside
the
loft
beyond
the
limits
of
the
casing
(
Unit
Plan
Size
).
All
are
fully
assembled
and
only
need
mounting
in
the
ceiling.
Some
easy
height
adjustment
of
the
ladder
may
also
be
necessary.
Full
fitting
instruction
sheets
supplied,
including
detailed
notes
and
templates
for
cutting
the
ladder
length
if
it
is
too
long.
There
are
several
advantages
to
these
timber
loft
ladders
but
consider
one
disadvantage
-
because
they
are
complete
with
trap
and
casing
you
will
almost
certainly
need
to
change
the
size
of
your
existing
loft
opening
to
the
"Unit
Plan
Size".
This
is
normally
not
a
problem
when
a
new
opening
is
being
cut.
(
We
strongly
recommend
that
loft
openings
are
not
cut
or
altered
until
you
take
delivery
of
the
ladder.
It's
unlikely,
but
specifications
do
sometimes
change
and
the
dimensions
quoted
should
be
treated
as
reasonably
accurate,
not
exact.
)
Consider
also
that
several
of
the
timber
loft
ladders
have
quite
narrow
apertures
and
there
will
not
be
room
to
pass
large
boxes
etc
into
the
loft
(
see
"Max
Internal
Clear
Width
between
hatch
support
arms"
).
Remember
that
the
"Unit
Plan
Size"
quoted
is
the
EXTERIOR
measurement
-
the
casing
and
hatch
support
arms
reduce
this
dimension.
