Widening Loft Hatch to Fit Loft Ladder
Posted: Fri Mar 17, 2017 10:33 am
I have a very narrow loft hatch that I want to widen to put a loft ladder in. I plan to cut one joist and construct a wider frame using joist hangers. Please see photos.
Do you think its OK for me to cut the joist or should I get a professional in to check? Does the plan look suitable?
