Re: Attic pull down staircase question.

As a part of the remodeling we're doing to this house, I asked the architect to add a Bessler pull down stairs to be located in our den. Right now, we only have a access hatch which is only the width of one rafter space. Bessler products are among the best, but as you can see, they're not cheap. These don't fold, and can hold an 800 pound load.

We're having attic trusses designed, so we can replace some of the W style trusses to open up storage space that is now wasted. I expect we'll add about 800 square feet or more space to the house for storage of things you don't want ready access to, but don't want in a garage environment either.
