Does this attic ladder meet your needs?
This attic ladder is for residential use only. Installing this attic ladder in commercial buildings and apartments may
violate building codes that require fire-rated ceilings and prohibit storing materials in the overhead space! Check with
your local fire marshal or building department before installing the attic ladder.

This attic ladder is made for the range of ceiling heights 10'5" to 12'. Do not install the attic ladder in a ceiling that
has a height outside of this range. Altering the attic ladder to accommodate other heights is unsafe.
