We actually repurposed a garage door track and opener. At the push of a button the garage door opener pulls the rope to raise and lower the stair system.

Thank you!

How is attached at the top? Would you mind sharing the design? Thanks again!

I don't have plans for it. We worked on some hand drawn sketches that we came up with on the fly. Its basically a ship's ladder that us hinged at the top.. I believe we used a heavy duty piano hinge to attach the top of the stairs to the landing.

Thanks again!
