Hello @Williamhandyman 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's splendid to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your question about the measurement of attic stairs.

The attic ladders available at the store are built to accommodate heights between 2.1m to 3.1meters. The only reason these ladders won't work for you is if your ceiling height is too low or too high. For example, the Rhino 2.1 - 3.05m Aluminium Attic Ladder fits standard 600mm ceiling joist centres and can be cut down to adjust to your ceiling height.

Here is a handy step-by-step guide: How to install an attic ladder.

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
