I've used Loft Legs (http://www.loftleg.com) to board my loft, to preserve the existing insulation which comes a few inches above the rafters. I now want to install loft ladders, as I currently use a separate set of step ladders with a push up board in the loft hatch.
I'm looking at sliding ladders (something like this: http://www.ladderstore.com/loft-ladder-range/werner-2-section-timber-sliding-loft-ladder.html), but can I mount these safely on top of the Loft Leg raised boarding? If not, I guess I need to cut out a section of the raised boarding and placed non-raised boarding down to make space for the stowed ladders, but then I'll either be packing down the insulation, risking bowing the ceiling underneath, or simply removing some of the insulation until it is level with the rafters.
Any thoughts on best practice here?
Thanks,
JH
