Overview of the Werner A2208 Attic Ladder

The main problem with the Werner A2208 seems to be in the installation process. The installation is not as easy as the company claims it to be. The frame of the Werner A2208 is light bit it is satisfactory in performance. The instructions to install recommend extending just enough to catch the ladder frame while installing but not extend to the extent of catching the thin plywood door. This can result in the entire unit falling right on your head while you are in the process of trying to attach the frame to the headers and the joists. You need to nail the cleats closer together in the beginning itself to prevent the unit from falling. This instruction is not clearly mentioned in the installation assist program.

You also have to remember to remove the springs so that you can open the door easily while keeping it on the cleats. If you attempt to keep the unit on the cleats without removing the springs and the door kept open, there are high chances that it will snap closed and hurt you in the process.

The best thing to do is to get a professional to do the installation for you. If not that, at least make sure that you take the help of a couple of other people while attempting the installing yourself.

Final Thoughts…

Other than the pain in installing the Werner A2208 is a sturdier ladder compared to other wooden folding ladders. It is well built, solid, durable, comfortable and safe to use. All in all, a good deal!

The Xtend & Climb 780P Attic Ladder is a light weight ladder made of aluminium. This is a heavy duty ladder that can be used for both commercial purposes by contractor and residential activities by do-it-yourself experts. The Xtend & Climb 780P provides a more viable alternative to traditional and bulky extension ladders. They have great strength and style and are a favourite on any job site. It gives you a reach of 12.5 foot and can bear a weight of 300 pounds (combined weight of user and materials).

Let us look at some of the features of the Xtend & Climb 780P Attic Ladder

The Xtend & Climb 780P has a feature that allows it to extend and then lock by the foot thus making it handy for you to reach the height required by your job easily. It saves you the trouble and hassle of carrying around an heavy extension ladder all the while.
The Xtend & Climb 780P has been designed keeping safety as a primary concern and hence it has a No-Pinch closure system. It also features red and green coloured tab indicators that tell you if the ladder has been properly set up and the rungs have been locked into place.
It has an angled thumb release that helps in proper positioning of the hand.
The Xtend & Climb 780P has been ergonomically designed for smoothness of operation.
It comes with non slip caps at the end that help to prevent it from slipping while in use.

Overview of the Xtend & Climb 780P Attic Ladder

A couple of problems with the Xtend & Climb 780P would be the fact that it is very difficult to close it. The weight of the extended ladder makes it impossible to be able to push the thumb latch to release it. The only way to do this is to place the ladder horizontally and then close it. Also the no-pinch closure system is slightly flimsy and if you are not careful, you can end up with badly pinched fingers.

Final Thoughts…

Other than these, the Xtend & Climb 780P is solid, durable, well-constructed, safe and comfortable for use.

It can give you a total reach of 8 feet.

You can immediately gain access to and utilize wasted storage space in your house with the help of this ladder. The Werner AA8 also aids in eliminating unsafe climbing practices that most of us indulge in when we are trying to reach storage spaces at a height in our houses.

Let us have a look at what makes the Werner AA8 Attic Ladder so Attractive:-

The Werner AA8 has a telescoping design that makes it extremely easy and safe to use.
It has wide steps and rails that are sturdy, with eased edges. These features offer the Werner AA8 increased stability for ease of climbing up and down multiple times.

The Werner AA8 has an assist pole to aid in opening and closing without putting too much strain on your back and arms.

Overview of the Werner AA8 Attic Ladder

The main negative point for the Werner AA8 seems to be the whole process of installation of the attic door. It does not come with a door and you have to buy the required plywood for installing a door. This can turn out to be expensive. Also, the directions given for the assembly of the door installation are more complicated as compared to the simple ones given for installation of the ladder. The door installing for the Werner AA8 takes a great deal of time.

However, this is the best that can be done as the sizes of the openings do vary from house to house and the Werner AA8 does provide us with the essential hardware and great templates for drilling holes.

Final Thoughts…

All in all, the Werner AA8 is a great option for those who has a small attic, restricted space access and cannot accommodate a real set of stairs.

The insulation is not fitted properly and it easily slides to the left or right side and interrupts theclosing of the door.
The door cover is slightly curved that makes it difficult to fully close the door as the curve hits thedoor before it actually meets the jamb.

The main problem users’ face with the Louisville Attic Ladder AA229GS is regarding the insulation which actually is three sheets of insulation board placed behind the ladder. It moves around easily and interrupts the closing of the door. Air can easily get into it and it covers very less of the door surface.
