I was looking at Homedepot for Atttic ladders. The Aluminum ones are
just $10-$20 more than the Wood ones. I figure that the Aluminum ones
are better. I read the installation instructions and it says you have
to adjust the length by cutting the ends off. Has anyone installed a
Aluminum one. Is it hard to cut and adjust the length? Did you use a
sawzall.

By the way is the Aluminum that much better. It might be lighter. Any
other advantage.


Just yesterday I saw a metal (not sure what) one at Lowes. It had had some
sort of adjustable length at the bottom so that "No trimming was necessary".
Quoted part is their words not mine.

The wooden ones always seem to loosen up and lose screws after a bit of use.
I have no experience with the metal ones. If I were in the market for one I
would take a serious look at the metal product.
