So a barcelona based design shop has re thunk the folding ladder idea and come up with this brilliant design.
Diy folding attic ladder plans.
By creating an attic access ladder you can have an easy way to climb up into your attic space.
You can build the ladder in two or three pieces and put it together afterward or cut it after it has been built.
I have printed the plans together with a description of the process in easy to follow steps and a list of the materials required.
Attic access ladders descend by pulling down ladders with a handle or cord folding ladders that you can easily tuck away in a small area of space and large one piece ladders.
Warning based on the type of insulation you have in the attic you may need to wear protective gear.
Whether you need to get into your attic to check your roof or insulation or to retrieve items from storage a ladder will give you access to the space but tuck neatly out of the way when not needed.
Ingenious folding ladder practically disappears for easy storage the occasional time a ladder comes in handy makes it worth keeping one around but they can be cumbersome to store in the meantime.
Once the ladder is complete you must turn it into a folding ladder so that it can be easily stored above.
The attic ladder is positioned in the hallway ceiling and can be folded down when required or up and out of view.
I built an attic ladder and installed it in just 1 weekend.
To cut the ladder simply divide the length of the ladder in half to get 2 pieces.
