Fall Front Porch and DIY Birch Ladder
1 Material
1 Hour
Easy
I wanted to decorate my front porch for fall and do something a bit different. I decided to make a birch ladder to use as part of my rustic farmhouse display. We started by gathering some branches in the same width.
I measured the area of the porch where I wanted to put the ladder to figure out the best height and width and then we got to cutting. We used the chop saw for this.
Once the pieces were cut to length, he removed the smaller branches.
Then we laid the poles out on the deck. I wanted the top to be slightly narrower than the bottom.
I decided on 4 rungs and we measured the width for each one an equal distance apart. The we used screws to attach them to the poles.
That’s it. Once they were screwed together we were good to go. I thought about wrapping the joints with twine and I may still do that. I really like the texture this DIY birch ladder adds to the porch.
It gives the porch a little more interest and rustic feel.
