Hi
I know there are loads of loft ladder posts but I couldnt find an answer to my question form searching a bit so sorry for another ladder post.
Basically, I am wanting to install a loft ladder but would like it if I can still close the hatch when the ladder is in the down position. (keep going up and down for the stuff I will be storing up there would be so much easier just opening and closing the hatch while being able to leave the ladder down for a couple of hours stretch)
I know that most ladders have an extension at the top when in the down position (beter for health & safety) but would imagine that if such a product exists then it would fix to the side face of the joist around the hatch (I would be fine with this arrangement).
My main question is.. does such a ladder/fittings product exist to do this job?
PS: My current hatch is a non-standard size and I hope to avoid altering its size and shape if at all possible.
Thanks a lot for your time in reading.
