[QUOTE="ndbwhunter, post: 314939, member: 1288"] Looking for some opinions or ideas on the attic access in my garage. The access cover is just a piece of sheetrock that needs to be pushed up and manipulated in order to get it down. The issue that I'm having now is that this wind is causing the cover to lift up and then it slams back down on the sheetrock that's holding it up. It's starting to cause some cracking and I'm really getting sick of the noise when it slams back down. This got me thinking about increasing the size of the opening and installing some type of telescoping or folding ladder. This would prevent the cover from lifting up on those windy days and I'm hoping the springs/hardware that hold the pull down covers up would also keep the wind from pushing it down. Looking for opinions/pictures/ideas if anyone has something like this. My ceiling is roughly 12ft, so my options at the local hardware stores are quite limited. The prices seem to vary from $300 all the way up to $3,000 and I'd like to stay near the bottom of that range. [/QUOTE]
