In our area, Pulldown stairs are not permitted in the garage.  They do not qualify for the fire rating.

 

Is that for living space above the garage Greg?  My client is just using that space for storage.

 

Thanks for the link js and Michael.

You can use these in the garage. The lid has to be self closing (the pull down stairs all ready are) and the lid has to be fire rated (just attach 5/8" type x to the lid overlapping the opening). We put these in garages all the time. Detached garages require no fire proofing of lid if more than 10' away from a residential building.
