My bed is lofted and the frame is exactly 6 feet tall. Should I get the large ladder or would that be too tall?

I would get the large ladder - my daughter has the large ladder & her bed is less than 6' lofted. Her ladder is a tick too long so should be just right for you.

I don't recall how tall the ladder is, but the loft bed we bought it for wasn't even 6 foot, and the ladder just reaches, so actually I think it may be a little short...

This ladder works well for the bunks in my camper. They are are about 5 feet high. I wouldn't recommend this ladder for something that high.

I would say it would be too tall, I am 6ft and it is the perfect height for me.

This is my 1st Little Giant and it spans the range between cheaper "standard" 6 and 8 footers. But it is SO much more stable, I would sure trust it more than the others. I have indeed stood on the top of regular step ladders but they too recommend against that. True, with this particular Little Giant it won't even allow you to do that so has less reach than the top of an 8-footer. If that affects your choice...you probably should be buying a 10 or 12 foot stepladder!

I do not have a 6 foot ladder--I have a 5 foot ladder that I love! It is easy to move and store & the perfect height for a 5' 3" female.

Hey Mark! Yes, pretty much the same. It uses the ladder a lot though, so make sure you have space for that

Hi Meredith, I'm 6'5" and I think that would be high even for me....the bed itself serves as the box so there should be no need to add one on top

Depending on how high it is hanging and how tall of a person you are, yes you would need a ladder. So far I just use my remote that came with it. Cathy

I would think large hooks that screw into a beam is best for indoor use. Hooks similar to those you'd use for a hammock. Definitely secure it to a supoort beam. The ladder is long and will probably touch your floor.

It is 17' tall in fully extended mode. In "A" frame mode its 8' 6". In normal residential houses you should not have any issues. There are other cheaper models but I was and still is very convinced that this is the best and most versatile ladder on the market.

It depends on how high her bed is. The ladder's total length is 5 feet, so her bed can't be higher than that. But to use it safely the ladder has to be about 2-3 feet away from the foot of the beds.....which is going to take up that length. Bottom line: measure the height of her bed and go from there.

The length of the ladder is 66". The way we have it hooked to our granddaughter's bed, it is 58" off the floor. The way it is made, it seems to work out that depending on your height needed, you can just angle out the ladder more or less to fit as needed

Yes, because the top of the ladder frame is bolted to a joist. See manufacture for correct size of ladder.

Sorry can't help. Don't have a tall enough ladder to reach it right now. Someone else installed it for me. Absolutely love it!!!

it might be a bit top heavy, I have multiple height ladders and found out a 6ft. gives you more reach than usually needed. If you are trying to trim at 20 ft or higher I would recommend a professional swinging branches from that height can be dangerous.

Our ceiling is 12' 6" and I am 6' 4". The ladder is very sturdy and I just got off the ladder with my measuring tape. The top step, a platform meant for standing on, is at 45" and reaching as high as I can I just get to 11'. I don't think you will make it. We love the ladder for our master closet with floor to ceiling shelves and my library with 10' high bookshelves but you will need to get the next size up. Great product!

Please do not try it, this ladder is too short. Plus, you will be a couple of feet from the wall. You need an 8 foot ladder and a taller friend. If you buy the ladder, a Little Giant is a good option... I use the 6' all the time.

We have a "standard" height ceiling and it came almost to the floor. I would guess that it would be fine with a somewhat higher ceiling, but you would have to step up a bit higher to the ladder. Just be sure that the opening to the attic is large enough. Ours was too small to accommodate the ladder and a person.
