Thanks for posting this. Been trying to get ideas for some hinged stairs to use of the loft I'm creating in my barn. I think this will work just fine

Nice job. However... most building codes require that an attached garage be 1hour fire rated. That means drywalled and fire taped. The stairs would need to be fire rated too. You might have a problem with this if you ever go to sell the house.

This is exactly what I am doing in my barn shed. Steps were in back wall taking up space. May use an extension spring as a counterbalance. Thanks for posting!

Old video, maybe you'll see this comment.... what size are your ceiling joists? 2x10s or 2x12s? Also what is their spacing? I need to do this, but I'll probably double check with an engineer that my joists will carry enough load... 2x10s on 12" centers.

not awesome. to much bs to get to work. maybe mount wires permanently on the side?

Looks like a standard gate hinge. You don’t need to much as a lot of the weight is transferred to the rear header and the floor take a lot of the weight. You should twin the cable from where it is an add two pulleys on the upper floor half way on either side of the stairs and you won’t have to remove the cable.

I'm about to do this same thing I was thinking 4 hinges? No? I'm thinking a pully system with snatchblock manually or something what do you think?

Would you mind commenting on the pitch of the stairs? Rise, Run, and number of stairs per foot? Looks good and sturdy. I'm thinking of something similar, and a user below commented about balancing with garage door spring so you can mechanically pull up and down without a motor or winch. I'd rather have the motor option for cool factor... If I can figure it out. Nice work!

the whole world is using that same winch, made in China
@arinrobinson9 жыл бұрын
Smart! How does the winch know when to stop? Are there sensors involved?

The finger engaging the winch knows when to lift off the button.....come on and pay attention!

I think it's magic. He must of had a sorceror or witch cast a spell to make it stop just when the ladder is seated in home position. Very clever.

Most important! Safety lock. Put in a latch that you have to pull a chain/rope to release. If that ever came down it would be potentially serious. Great job though.

like your house but, if I may make a suggestion, you can put the winch in a position to where you could fasten it to the stairs without disconnecting them all the time. And do you have room for them once your vehicle is in the garage. Nice place!!

Hey Ben - can I get the directions (height of ceiling in garage) etc. on how you built this? I could sit down and figure it out . . . . maybe, but you seem to have yours perfected! Thanks!! [email protected]

What kind of hinges did you use, and how much did they cost? My friend wants to do this, and the hinges are the only thing I am concerned about, with the weight of the stairs, a person going up them, carrying items. And this is basically exactly what he wants to do.

sturdy strap hinges used for farm gate more than adequate as when stairs are down they're leaning against a rafter. i have a manual, counterbalanced set in my workshop. Go for it
