After moving in we had pull down stairs installed They are very sturdy aluminum with side rails. Cost a little more but really worth it.Regardless of what type of ladder you use it's really not that safe since you're usually lifting something in or out of your attic area, so your off balance anyway. Regarding heat in the attic I also had 2 solar powered exhaust fans installed. They made a big differance and only use good old florida sunshine.
