If the staircase is too long, it can be "trim" without fear that the design will deteriorate. This type of stairs can have both a displeased box cover and excellent thermal insulation (up to 76 mm).

2. Metal. Made from metal, which gives the design of great strength - they are withstanding a lot of weight and absolutely not deformed at the same time. Convenient when operating, as such ladders have a light weight in the drop-down part of the structure.

Installation of a happy staircase (Wooden)

The work is performed almost exactly as in the first version - only the bars are fastened with the help of a cord.

Required tools

• bars;
• cord;
• screwdriver;
• key on 10;
• Correiler;
• screws;
• screwdriver.

Progress

1. Stop in the opening of the bars with the cord, then omit the whole design in the opening. When using finishing panels, leave the distance to the centimeter between the boards and the ceiling.
2. The staircase rises and is installed on auxiliary boards. In place of screwing the screws, the struts are put - right between the edge and the staircase, so that direct angles are preserved. With the help of mounting wedges, the ceiling plane and the staircase frame are connected.
3. The staircase is attached using four screws (two in front and two from behind).
4. Auxiliary boards, which keep the doors of the attic, are cleaned, the staircase opens.

To do this, we need to loosen the screws on the corners, and move the staircase until the line dug will not be shifted behind the step. This method can be used if the edge of the staircase is absorbed inaccurately - only in this case, the screws are weakened, and then it is necessary to achieve all sections to be on a straight line.
9. Adjust the angle of inclination of the staircase in the event that shifting the holes of the side support.
