My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

      basic question - What are the dimensions of the opening?
    • 12 years ago
      Hello, can you attach pictures of it closed? What type of handle?

      The dimensions of the opening are approx. 2'-6"x5'-0". I probably have a photo of the door down...will look. The handle is a typical stainless steel boat hatch handle...approx. 2.5" in diameter. You want to be able to get a few fingers in there to pull...then it goes up nicely if you have the weight worked out correctly.

      How did you build the stairs and how do you support the hatch?

    • 10 years ago

      I would also like to see a picture of the hatch closed please. Figuring out how to finish the floor hatches on our live aboard ;)
