Do you have an attic pull-down ladder in your home? Many homes have one of these to save space that would otherwise be needed for a stair leading up into the attic. While this is a smart move when it comes to saving space, it is important that the ladder is installed properly to avoid the risk of it breaking and hurting you or someone in your family.
An attic pull-down ladder needs to be able to handle the weight of the ladder itself, whoever is climbing it as well as any items they are carrying. To make sure it won’t just fall out, it is important that it is firmly secured between the rafters. You should also be aware that there is a heavy strain on the ladder when climbing it with something heavy, so to alleviate the strain, you can have someone hand you items while you stand on the ladder so that you can place them up in the attic without having to climb the ladder while carrying them.
