Pay careful attention to inside and outside dimensions plus height requirements for the specific measurements of the attic staircase being installed. The cover box should rest squarely on top of the attic stairs frame. Shim and seal the gap between the frame and rough opening and install weatherstripping. Materials Needed You'll need the following materials to construct an attic stairs cover box: • 4x8 foot sheet of 1/2 -inch rigid foam board or fibrous ductboard insulation • Insulation ¢pq (optional) • Duct sealing mastic or construction adhesive • 1 -inch roofing nails (8d or 16d) • Tape measure, sharp utility knife, and straight edge; or table /circular saw • Weatherstripping or gasket material with adhesive. Instructions Use the template in the Illustration below to cut pieces from a single, 4X8 foot sheet of 1/2 -inch rigid insulation for a box 53 1/2- inches long (51 1/2- inches inside), 24 3/4- inches (22 3/4 inches inside), and 9 inches of depth Inside. The box will fit stairs with an outside framing dimension of 53 1/2 inches by 24 3/4 inches. Adjust dimensions to fit the specific stairs being installed. Carefully measure both the inside and outside dimensions to the appropriate length, width, and depth clearances to cover the box.
