This is a DIY question, Sorry....
Ever trying to think of ways to utilise what little space we have in this rather small house, I have decided to go up into the loft. Initially all I want to do is add a retractable ladder and put down some flooring so we can use it for storage.
The current hatch is of the awkward 'stand on ladder, push out hatch, extend ladder' kind. The ladder that I have seen here
does not come with an openable hatch. I just called the company and the guy suggested building one out of timber. For some reason I hadn't considered this...
So has anyone built one before? Is it a good idea? Any advice on construction would be very much apprecieated
Thanks
