Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Mount the LadderUP post centered above the ladder so it is in the climber's natural reach as they pass through the hatch. Follow Bilco's installation instructions and local code for hatch and ladder openings. Choose black to blend with darker hatch covers; yellow is available for high visibility.
Securely anchor the post and ladder to structural framing and verify the post latches in the raised position before climbing.
Order the Bilco LadderUP Safety Post in black to add a secure grab point at your roof hatch.
