Put this in a sunny corner, and put house plants on each step., or floral arrangements. Do NOT throw this out, but decorate, and you can see lots of ideas on this program. Enjoy, for the spilled paint on the ladder, will show its age, and use. Enjoy, J.
Use for bookshelves or knick-knack displays.
Paint it a bright color and place in your garden with assorted plants.
Lean it against a wall to hold throws, blankets
I put one like that out for trash pick-up an someone came to the door and asked if she could have it. Said she was going to use it for a plant stand.
I have folded vintage linens and hang on rungs.
Thank you all
If the wood is rotting, then this may have to be replaced. You can always find old wood, to put in the frame, to keep the ladder's age, and not to disgrace the balance of the rest of the ladder. Ask neighbors, if they have a old ladder, that has bad parts to it, or ask a person at hardware store. Check out some rummage sales, for they too, may have a ladder, that they are using for display. These are some ideas, best wishes, J.
Bev, if you want to preserve the ladder, you can scrub it with a scrub brush, and let it dry, and then put paint on it, or varnish. Or, in the winter time, put it under the house, or porch, to keep it from rain, snow, and bad weather falling on it. If you don't have a basement, or porch, wrap it in a tarp, and this will help also. Tie the tarp around the frame of the ladder, so snow, rain will NOT get into the direct touch with the ladder. In the spring time, have a friend, or neighbor, get under your porch, and see if they can tie it up to the frame of the under porch, to keep it from direct snow, or rain. Tho I would still cover it, in case of drainage on the ladder. Best wishes, always, Judy.
Hi Julie,
Folk are adding extra steps to the back of these ladders and using them for along with some timber or board to make Shelving!
