There are a few different types of wooden loft ladders available that collapse in a different way to each other. The one that you are going to want to choose will depend on how much space you have to work with. This means the amount of space in the room where the loft ladder hatch has been set so the ladder can drop to the floor and there will be plenty of room to climb the ladder. It will also depend on how much space there is in the attic just above the hatch.

A sliding wooden loft ladder is one of the more popular types available. This type of ladder comes in 2 or 3 sections depending on the floor to ceiling distance and these lengths rest neatly together when in the folded position. This enables the ladder to be folded up into quite a small size so you are able to conserve as much space as possible.

The sliding loft ladder operates so that when you pull the hatch down the first section of ladder will begin to descend. As the first length of ladder reaches its maximum length the next section is initiated and the ladder continues to slide to the floor.

A sliding wooden loft ladder is a relatively inexpensive option and provides a sturdy ladder once it has been fully extended.

When deciding on whether you want to buy a sliding loft ladder, you will have to know the following important things. First, you should know the distance between the floor and the underside of the ceiling, then you should have some idea about the size of the hole that the hatch is going to have to cover. Because the hatch is going to be your entryway into the attic you should ensure that it is wide enough to make passing through it a comfortable experience.

You should also find out the distance between the underside of the ceiling and the floor level in the attic. You should also work out how much clearance there is going to be above the hatch. In some cases the only suitable spot for the loft ladder hatch to be positioned is very close to a wall and that will affect exactly what type of loft ladder is chosen.

Finally, with a sliding wooden loft ladder it is important to find out exactly where the ladder is going to land to not only ensure that the ladder can be used but also to find out whether the entries to some of the other rooms are going to be blocked.

As with most furniture items it is best to do plenty of research before taking the step of parting with the money.
