Werner D6228-2 300-Pound Duty Rating Fiberglass Flat D-Rung Extension Ladder, 28-Foot Review

Very well made ladder. Very light (for it's size). Extending the ladder is very easy, extension locks never hang up. D-rungs are huge improvement over round designs (I do wish the rungs were a 1/4-1/2" wider.) I shopped around alot before selecting the Werner and I felt they were very high quality construction. It has proven to be very rugged and dependable in use.
Minor cons - The upper extension is located "in front" of lower extension so it is easy to miss the transition rung (I have marked the lowest rung on the upper ladder with red dyechem marking ink as a visual indicator of the transition point to avoid missing the step). Note: All my older ladders are the reverse of this set-up and, I think, this adds to my difficulty with this design.
My only other con is that you must stand on the "inside" (due to above design) to use the extension rope, which makes adjusting the ladder to the correct working height more difficult.
Recommended accessory - Without a doubt the Werner Quik Clip Stablizer is the greatest. The added stability and workspace at the top of the ladder is outstanding. Takes less than 5 seconds to put on or take off. No u-bolts or other attachment methods.

Werner AA8 250-Pound Duty Rating Televator Aluminum Universal Telescoping Attic Ladder, 8-Foot Review

I bought a 8' televator ladder. The ladder installation was simple. The instruction were great (and I am not a handy person). They claim it's a one person job. I found that to be quite true. There is a well thought out installaiton procedure and well designed parts (assuming you read directions carefully). The only down side is that it does not come with a door. I assume this is because the opening sizes vary so much. They do provide all the necessary hardware and (excellent) templates for drilling holes. You have to measure, buy and finish is the plywood for the door. Unfortunatly this can be pricey. I had to buy a whole 4x8 sheet of birch plywood and only used a fraction of it. The directions for the door assembly are a little less clear than the ladder install but I managed with out too much hassle. The only other thing I can think of now that I didn't think about when I was installing was that the ladder reduces the overall size of the attic access hole. We now have to re-box some things in the attic so we can fit them through the smaller access. Some bigger things in the attic may require removal of the stairs but I think that won't be too bad to do if/when I need to do it. It is great not having to stash a step ladder upstairs any more. I knew I had to do something after my wife fell off the step ladder while climbing out of the attic one day. This is a great alternative when you don't have the space for a real set of stairs.
