> 3 dayFeels durable and built of quality. I have an opening Identical to the display picture. The installation is easy, was only a pain in the a** because I installed it in the summer time when it is unbearable in our attic. I used nails and spaced them apart a bit closer than instructed. I do not feel anywhere near the same amount of draft coming in. I cannot say if this has saved me money on my utility bill as it was the end of the summer. I can say that my room which is right below the attic felt cooler than before this. For the price and quality, I am satisfied! I would recommend this to a friend or relative.

Greater than one weekAs advertised, Attic Tent greatly reduced air passing from attic to living area. Cover is great for occasional attic access, but needs to be stiffer or have some type of frame for more frequent use.

Greater than one weekLike the design, easy to install and seems to work as good, or better, than I hoped. My only concern is the zipper doesnt seem as heavy duty as I had hoped. It may be fine, and maybe a special zipper to form an air tight zip, but I plan to treat the zipper gently because if that fails, the whole thing is useless.

> 3 dayWhen my a/c guy came by recently to give an estimate on some repairs he pointed out that my attic stair ladder was not insulated and that hot air was likely being sucked from the attic and contributing to increased dust in the house and reduced efficiency of the upstairs air conditioner. I’m always wary of the upsell but a quick search of the energy star website indicated that uninsulated attic stairs can be a big source of waste. My a/c guy suggested that I install an attic ladder tent. I ended up with this unit and had it installed today. Measured with an IR gun, the hottest attic temp I can read with the tent closed is now 89 degrees. Before it was 108. Further, with the attic ladder opening fully closed, the air path between the attic ladder opening and a nearby return vent was hovering at 85 degrees. Now that same path is hovering at 75 degrees (same as everywhere else upstairs). In both cases the upstairs air conditioner is set on 73. This seems to indicate that air is no longer being sucked from the attic and the air being pulled into the return is the risen hot air from the room which is pretty much 75 degrees all along the ceiling. I also spray foamed in the cracks where they roughed in the attic stair ladder. I dont know if this is saving me money, but it clearly is reducing the amount of attic air being sucked down and back into my ventilation and thats a great thing. I suspect there are some savings as well. One last thing. The day after I installed this, my wife mentioned that it felt cooler in be hallway. This happens to be the hallway where the attic ladder is hung. I agree, it feels cooler.

> 3 dayInstalled just fine, but the zipper is really cheap and flimsy. The attic tent claims to be an air barrier, but you can literally see straight through the zipper. The construction otherwise seems fine, but it hardly seems worth the effort to caulk it with the Achilles heel of the zipper.

> 3 dayI wish this fit flush to the floor of the attic somehow, if you are like me- all stuff stored in the attic is in bins - some heavy..and where I could slide it to the edge and get out of the attic, now it has to be lifted over the edge... and could bust the sides of this cover, if not careful. But the insulated cover idea is great - and works!

> 3 dayMy gas heat bill was the same this month as last, when I did not have the attic cover. Will see what the rest of the winter brings.
