    @dwgjagg ปีที่แล้ว

    Excited to try this method, but did not work for me. The support at 3/8” on the on the opening side worked fine. The problem was, on the non-opening side, the support would only allow the ladder to open a couple of feet before hitting the support and starting to lift the ladder assembly up. Wound up having to install from the topside in the attic. Seems to be some creative editing going on here…

    • @paulstoolbox
      @paulstoolbox  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You can never go wrong by using the recommended fasteners from a manufacture. I however, like to use screws, but that is my personal preference. I don’t think you will go wrong by using the screws, but you will definitely not be at fault by using what they recommend. I hope this helps, thanks.
