Attic Ladder Reviews and Buying Guide:Many modern homes are built with crawl spaces and storage areas that are accessible without going into the attic. Older homes in America often have an attic is only reachable through a garage or perhaps a ceiling entrance in a bedroom. A typical step ladder may not reach your desired height and so an attic ladder is necessary. Attic ladders are also called access ladders or attic stairs. The old wooden attic ladders still exist but today more models are being produced with aluminum so they are lightweight and more durable over time. The top 3 manufacturers of these access ladders are Century, Werner and Louisville. They are not cheap - the inexpensive ladders sell for about $125 and the high end folding access ladder from Werner will set you back $350+. Which model is best for you? How do I install an attic ladder? We answer all these questions in our buying guide down below.

and from reviews online it appears this is the real deal. At over $200 it's not cheap, but owner comments say the installation is not too difficult and overall the ladder is a lifesaver. There is also a 10 foot version available for those with higher ceilings. The steps are slip resistant so carrying stuff back and forth from the attic should be doable. The ladder fits ceilings 7 foot 4 inches up to 8 feet 4 inches in height. The 250 lb capacity is perfect for the average sized guy loading his attic up with extra gear that otherwise takes up space around the house or garage. 
is a top rated attic ladder on Amazon and several other ladder websites online. You'll need to measure your ceiling height as this model fits ceilings from 8 foot 9 inches to 10'. It features 350 lbs rated capacity and owners say it's quick easy to pull down or raise up. The aluminum construction is both lightweight and durable (more so than wood). Installation can be a bit tricky, but most owners were able to do it successfully. Some replaced older wooden ladders with this one. At just $175 it's a great investment say many consumers and experts since now you can take advantage of that attic space over your garage or upstairs rooms.
