Laundry Room Ladder Drying Rack

Jacque inherited all of her grandfathers antique window washing ladders. They come in various sizes. We decided that our laundry room would be a great place to hang one up to serve as a drying rack for clothes that can't go in the dryer. It works great and hangs high and out of the way.

    Thanks everyone! You would be surprised how many people don't even notice it hanging over their heads!

    This makes for a really unique towel rack. Thanks for sharing.

    I saw something similar for a pot rack in the kitchen. Great use of wasted space and repurposing family heirlooms.

    When we lived in Scotland, there was a drying rack in the kitchen. They have 14 ft ceilings over there. The racks have 5 poles in them that run the long way, like the ladder sides. There is a pulley system that is used to raise and lower the rack. It was a great way to dry clothes as it rains every day there. But you have to remember to take the clothes off when you're cooking as they might end up smelling like spaghetti sauce! I know from experience!

    Hi Jacque and Matt: I'm so sorry but I don't have a pic of it. I might be able to get someone who still lives there to send me one if they still have them. I would think most people have dryers now, but you never know. Will send it on if I get one. Happy New Year to you both.

    Hi Jacque and Matt, I live in China and I think we have a similar pulley thing on our closed balcony for drying clothes. I'll take a picture of it and send it to you soon.

    How great is that! I have crazy high ceilings in my tiny laundry space...this is exactly what I'll do. Maybe not an heirloom ladder but I'll see what I can scope out.
