When it comes to storing ladders, it can be difficult to find the right solution. Ladders can be large and cumbersome making it hard to find the space to fit them in and they can also be a safety hazard particularly to young children. So storing them out of the way is the best solution and here are several reasons why you should consider storing them on the wall.
Space-saving
Ladders can take up a significant amount of floor space in the garage. By storing them vertically on the wall, you free up valuable floor space for other items such as vehicles, tools, or storage cabinets.
Easy accessibility
When ladders are stored on the wall, they are easily accessible and within reach whenever you need them. You don't have to navigate through a cluttered garage or move other objects to reach the ladder.
Organisation
Storing ladders on the garage wall helps keep your garage organised and reduces the chances of tripping or accidents caused by clutter. It allows you to designate a specific spot for the ladder, making it easier to find and put away after use.
Protection
Ladders stored on the floor are more susceptible to damage from vehicles, tools, or other items being moved around the garage. Hanging them securely on the wall helps protect them from accidental bumps, scratches, or dents.
Longevity
Properly storing ladders on the wall can extend their lifespan. When ladders are stored horizontally on the floor, they may experience stress on the rungs or steps due to their own weight. Hanging them vertically reduces this stress and minimizes the risk of warping or structural damage.
Aesthetics
Storing ladders on the garage wall can improve the overall appearance of your garage. It gives a cleaner and more organized look by removing obstructions from the floor.
To store ladders on the garage wall, you can use various methods such as wall-mounted hooks, brackets, or specialised ladder hangers. Make sure to choose a sturdy and secure storage solution that can handle the weight of the ladder and ensure proper installation to maintain safety.
