To order the correct bunk ladder, I should measure from where I would hook the ladder on the top rail straight down (NOT at an angle) to the floor?

Yes, measure straight down. The height of the ladder is determined after leaning it at the appropriate angle for attaching to the upper bunk. The actual hooks can be adjusted up or down a little to fit. In my situation, I actually took a few inches off the bottom of the ladder for the perfect fit.

There is a hook on the ladder you can either hang it from the top bunk or remove it. My daughter loves this set.

I am sorry, I had purshaed that bunk for my grandson and it is not located in my home. I will send a note to my son-in-law and see if he can measure it.

There should be a chart, count how many top rails you have... Then look on the chart to see how many sections you'll need... It will leave an opening for your ladder... Easy install... Did my 18 foot in about 3.5 hrs by myself.. Hope this helps.. I left out one section on purpose as it does not swing open... All sections are fixed...

I'm not sure where you would "hook" the ladder if not in the "cups" but if you found such a place the ladder would work well. Good luck.

If you order the bed in white you will get a slanted ladder. I made the mistake of thinking I would get the straight ladder and ended up having to return for a refund :(

No, the ladder MUST fit into the space created for it. The end of the top bunk has an opening, that the ladder fits up against. It is curved and very sturdy. It is also screwed down into the bed frame.

The rise depends on how steep you slant it - left on its own, it's a flat piece of metal . I would say take a tape measure and place one end at the top of the steps, and then pull it down to the ground and then out, so the tape measure is at an angle you think you can easily manage. That will tell you how long a ramp you want to get.

The top "rail" would be slightly below your hand level when your hands are at your side. The ladder feels secure to me when standing on the top rail.

14 inches (measured from the sideboard to where the front of the ladder meets the floor). I suppose it could vary a little depending on the size of the queen mattress on the bottom bunk. My mattress is 12 inches and the ladder rests slightly on the mattress and completely flush with the floor.

I bought the ladder for my son at college, he put the ladder together mounting the top brackets on last to get the right angle. Length is pre angle.

Per Kevin at Stromberg Carlson the small hook extrusion that comes with the ladder will attach with a mounting plate to the fascia board to make it a stable non moveable ladder. The large hooks that come with the ladder allow you to clip it over the edge of the bunk without drilling into the fascia board. Hope that answers your question but let us know if you need additional information.Thank you

Naturally, I measured the vertical height from the bottom of the feet to the top of the ladder handle, not the angled distance.

Yes, because the top of the ladder frame is bolted to a joist. See manufacture for correct size of ladder.

The rack has four attachment points on on each side of the ladder. As the rack can be attached between the second from the top step and the top step on the ladder, it can be mounted quite high on a camper. To check if it will fit your application, measure from underneath the second to top step to the highest point on your bikes on the hitch rack below. Then on the bike your are going to hang from the ladder rack, measure from the seat support post to the leading edge of the front tire. If it is less then the previous measurement... it will fit. Also the front to back spacing on the ladder rack is about 6 inches, so there is some room for adjustment if the measurement is close.

Short answer: No. The bunk bed (at least ours) is not designed for a left sided ladder mount. With some rigging, the ladder could be probably be placed on the left hand side of the bed, but the real problem is that the side rails on the top bunk cannot be attached to the right side of the bed, so you would climb the ladder and have to climb over the rail. And, you would still have the intended opening for the ladder on the right side of the top bunk.

You have to drill to use this ladder unless you already have holes the same size that fit. It will not be of any use if not
