Hi:

Thanks for the reply.

The staircase will be internal and I'm leaning more towards a straight stair at the moment. The notion of stepping down from the roof into a spiral landing is kind of scary. Also, I really am trying to keep the roof line as simple as possible. With a straight stair I could merely install a railing or grab bar outside the hatch.

I have considered a roof hatch. It would be the easiest, most cost effective route. However, I do like the idea of having some light come through. I checked out the site you attached and the best case scenario would be a 4 x 6 version of the site hatch, with a glass or plexi insert (for light) and some type of hydraulic/gas mechanism to allow for easy lifting/lowering. In addition, the hatch would need to lock in at a 90 degree (or higher) angle, so as not to come crashing down on anyone.

Is this something ironworkny can handle?
