Big enough that me carrying anything of substance will overpower these tinfoil ladders.

Also, have to crab walk up these steep stairs cause my thighs and knees just start hitting everything.

>is there another, better alternative to accessing attic space than this?

An actual fixed stairway, built to the appropriate building & fire codes for your location.

>these things look like they'll buckle

They are not going to buckle, you fucking sperg.

>>1024578
You can get them made out of wood

You can get an extension ladder and take out the drop ladder. Just bring the extension and set it up whenever. You can get a fiberglass extension ladder, much more stable.

In fairness to OP, you get some right flimsy shit loft-ladders, lot of which I wouldn't trust carrying weight either.

No shill, but the Telesteps telescopic things (Sweedish) are pretty good quality - you really need to get the sizing correct tho (come in about three different sizes) - mines slightly too big (becuse cheap..) - is not ideal, but still 1000% improvement over the filthy cheap shit.

Get a Stira from Ireland. Fucking bulletproof

Likely not going to break. But if you don't want a fixed staircase like >>1024590
Suggests. You could get or build a folding wood staircase that would go up into the attic. I've seen a lot of older houses that have these. Pretty damn convenient, and yes, way the fuck better than trying to carry shit on a wobbly aluminum ladder.

A vertical staircase-ladder hybrid made of solid and treated wood. Make it so you can collapse it and store it in the attic. You could also just make a rope ladder.

I will be adding one of these to the attic of my in-law's house because it's above a 13-foot ceiling. And trying to get anything up the ladder when it's that tall is dangerous.

Pretty easy to make. You just need to make a frame for the hoist platform then attach the cable hoist itself to the rafters securely.

That's a slick setup. Thanks for posting.

I might anchor the winch mount to the rafters a bit better but I tend to lift heavy things.

Hire a neighbor teen that isn't a fatass like you.

Make sure your rafters are up to snuff to support of the weight of your hoarder stash. Before it possibly comes down on ya.

>whattaya mean these 2x4s trusses can't support 10 tons of my imitation crab meat

>>1024721
that looks pretty awesome but i hope you did the structural calculations for it, rafters carry VERY different loads and stresses compared to floor joists. its not just pulling the roof down its pushing it out too.

>>1024721
I always thought these were cool, but my main concern would be if someone were to ride up (inb4 not suppose to ride it), that it would in some way fail or fall apart.

holy shit I forgot about RDM my dad taught me about him yeaaaaaaars ago

I'm planning to just build a frame so that the load transfers to the joists of the attic as opposed to the rafters.
>>1025508
Mount the frame of the hoist on springs, then put switches under that mount.

If you buy a set of springs to match the intended load of the hoist you can wire the switches to a relay to cut off power to the hoist if the load limit is exceeded.
