How to Measure an Attic Ladder Rough Opening · Step 2 of 4
In this video
Using a tape measure, carefully measure the width of the rough opening in at least three different locations: near the top (header), near the middle, and near the bottom (sill). This helps identify any inconsistencies or tapering in the opening's width. Record these measurements. The smallest measurement will be the effective width of the opening. It is common practice to measure from stud face to stud face on the rough jambs.
