new loft hatch....would you believe it?

[saveasteading]

I fitted a concertina loft ladder today, with great difficulty. the instructions are the worst I have ever seen. 

Might as well have said  'fit ladder'.

 

Imagine my surprise when I came to try it and couldn't reach the manual hooks.

I have to use a stepladder to use the ladder.

 

Then I saw in the operating instructions...ladder may be unwieldy, recommend use stepladder.

 

I also find that the hatch is now very tight for access...bad choice.

The ceiling is at 3.05m so this was the only one I found.  But I think even for 2.2m I would need a step up.
