I have a 30x30 rough opening and a 8' ceiling. Will this ladder work? Also, what is the quality of the ladder

That should work, it is made for smaller openings. NOTE this was for the ladder only, I was expecting the door and frame, I had to build that. also this does not seem suited to heavy use, if you will be going up and down a lot you may want a heavier duty ladder.

Yes, it should work provided that the other clearance requirements are met (it does require some space above and behind the attic opening where the ladder sits when it is stowed).The ladder is on the light weight side. I weigh @ 220 and I feel like I am about as heavy as could use it.

The ladder is quality, but not for anyone over 250 pounds. It is narrower than the standard wooden attic ladder, but it gets the job done. You need at least 29" of clearance in the attic to allow it to retract. Make sure there are no roof braces on the way.

I'm not sure. This ladder was very week and will not last long. I sent it right back as soon as I opened it..

Yes it will work for 200-100. No problem with 8ft ceiling . Bracket slides in and out and adjustable. Problem I had was the tilt adjustment is very hard to get to.

Irregardless if it's a Sears or whatever brand name ladder, many are made by the same manufacturers anyway, but if it looks like the one in the picture then it will be able to adapt to it; after all, you are the one who drills the holes in the ladder in the correct place to mount it, and when you are doing that task and you do a good job doing it, then you yourself can see/feel if it will fit or not. As far as sturdy and safe, yes, my life and health feel quite safe when I'm on mine, and I think this device is adequate yes. You can feel it for yourself on yours when you do it. Yes I think the devices are very helpful, otherwise you can use single/multiple pieces of wood to accommodate the task instead. I chose this device for my largest ladders; to save $ on my smaller ft ladders I may fudge it more by using wood pieces on slightly uneven ground for the very few times I need them.

My opening is 41" and it works just great with the 8" extension. It is solid and feels very sturdy.

If you close mount it, maybe.I mounted with the extention provided and its 20 " inches off ceiling and 28 inches to bottom of pull chains. I would not recommend it for an 8 foot ceiling in any which way-

I don't think it will work - we bought a regular extension ladder, because the Little Giant didn't work.

It should work as long as your rung spacing is standard like other extension ladders. Once you install the Standoff, it does add additional weight to raise the ladder off the ground to the desired height.

I have 8 foot ceilings, and I'm 5'1". when I put the incline up to 40 the top of my head is even with the top of the closet door which would be about 7 feet. So I don't think it would work for you with a 7' ceiling. You would have to have at least and 8' ceiling.

The upper-most step is about at 30". So it may work. Whether it'll look ridiculous is subjective and totally up to you! But my 4-year-old uses the ladder well, and she's small for her age. Hope that helps!

Maybe. I have the 15' x 36" pool. The ladder sits about 4-5" over the ring. If the pool you are buying says 36" tall then no problem. If it's a 30" then it will be a little tall.

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.

It would be 30". It is really nice. You can attach to an opening and swing it or use the tension option which would be removing the whole thing when passing through. I bought two.

Mine hangs down 30" for an 8 ft. ceiling, It was actually made for a 9 ft. ceiling which would allow it to hang down at least 42". They said it would work for an 8 ft. ceiling , but I had to cut some off the brackets and the stainless steel columns to make it work.

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.

In my opinion, owning 3 of their ladders (which are of excellent quality) I would say yes its too short. If you aren't very comfortable at the extreme top of the ladder (last useable rung) I would suggest one about 9 or 10 ft. I use their 8 ft ladder for the same application and really feel I'm pushing the safety envelope. I use it to replace light bulbs and I would feel much safer with one that was just like the 8 ft unit but longer. My window cleaner has some but I don't know where he bought them.
