Hi,
I have purchased a Telesteps loft ladder which I intend to install tomorrow. As the loft hatch used to open into the loft, I am adapting it to open down into the room below.
I had planned to have the loft hatch open so that when the ladder is down, the hatch is hanging below the ladder. However, for one reason or another it would be easier to have it open to the right of the loft ladder.
Is there any particular reason why this shouldn't be done? I have been in a fair few lofts and have always seen the hatch drop behind the ladder, but never to one side, so there must be a reason for it that I am missing?
Thanks in advance.
