I have an old 20 ft wooden barn ladder from my previous home, an 1835 stone farmhouse. How can I use or repurpose it in my new home? Thanks

Would make a great arbor. Put across posts to form the top as a trellis

Do you have a place in the home to keep it one piece? That would be very dramatic.

Hang it over the dining table, add string lights and branches for a very rustic chandelier.

Use it for a blanket rack next to the fireplace (if you have one).

You could create a 20 foot long arbor to support vines by attaching legs to it and mounting both rails of the ladder to each post. Or you could use posts to elevate it and have seating below by attaching each end's rails into the same board and attaching that to posts to the height you want.

Use as a pergola in your garden and trail flowers such as wisteria or clematis.
