Basic space requirements for an attic ladder.
To cut the ladder simply divide the length of the ladder in half to get 2 pieces.
Cut one of the halves again but this time divide it up so that you have 2 3 of the ladder in one piece and a smaller piece.
Go up to the attic and with a hammer tap a nail through the ceiling by the joist as a starting place to cut your rough opening.
Place the notched pieces face up across two sawhorses.
Looking for a space adequate to this opening is your first step.
Apply wood glue to the notches.
Also make sure there is a suitable landing space in the attic so you can safely mount and dismount the ladder while carrying items.
Measure the width of the attic frame piece to tap another nail by the same joist in the ceiling.
Build the ladder on its side.
