I've wanted to get a attic ladder for my garage for a while now, since it has tons of space available but accessing it is a pain. I had been checking out what was available at local home improvement places, but to be honest they looked like junk - then combine that with people on the net who complained that sometimes they fail, and it really didn't seem like the route I wanted to go. Searching around I found Fakro and this ladder which seemed to be everything I was after - albeit at a price. It's not cheap, but everything about this ladder oozes quality - except maybe their documentation. ;)They make it seem like it's a pretty easy install, and that you could potentially do it yourself - I decided to get a handyman I know to help me, and I am *VERY* glad I did. It was *HARD*, and I've done my fair share of home improvement fun - it probably took us a good 6 hours to install it, with fitting, drilling, screwing things in, etc. BUT, once that was done, you can't argue that it's built like a tank and really well engineered.
My ceiling was a bit beyond their default maximum height, so I also purchased an additional step - I believe you can safely add up to 2 of these according to them. It is SUPER easy to get in and out of the attic now - you just use their little pole to pull the opening to a 90 degree angle, then I think you're supposed to use the pole to pull down the stairs, but I can easily reach them, and just unlock them, pull them down to the floor, and climb up into the attic. When the stairs are lowered, it probably takes up twice the length of the space, so that's about all that's needed. The stairs are VERY sturdy, and the expandable parts on the side act as a hand rail for climbing up. Very slick.
The only downside of this ladder vs others I've seen is that the opening is a fair bit smaller, probably 1/2 the size (because the size of the ladder is much smaller). I didn't subtract any stars for this because I don't care personally, and I could easily see this being a plus for some people (with less space for the actual ladder).
Overall, I don't think you can find a better attic ladder if you try, but it's also 3x the cost of a normal one. Since I'd rather not have it break and come crashing down on my cement garage floor, it's worth it for me. :)
