Is that old ladder feeling rickety or unsafe every time you use it nowadays? It’s not worth the risk of an accident, with more than 160,000 emergency room trips per year caused by falling off a ladder. So if you’re feeling unsafe at all on your old ladder, it might be time to source a replacement. But what to do with the old ladder? It may seem like a waste for it to be disposed of, so why not consider repurposing it for a different use?
Read on to find out some unusual applications for your old ladder.
Shelves
A ladder can easily be repurposed into a great shelving unit, perfect for storing books, DVDs, plants, kitchen supplies or anything else you can think of. Simply buy some wood planks and cut them to the size between rungs and add a layer of paint, and you have a custom shelving unit. A metal ladder would look great in a shed or DIY area, while a wooden ladder adds a rustic vibe to any room of your house.
Towel Rack
A ladder could make a great towel rack in your bathroom. Just ensure the ladder can withstand humidity and won’t rust!
Bedside Table
A step ladder would make a perfect bedside table for a bedroom with little space for a real table. A lamp can easily go on top, with the rungs used to store books, phone chargers or anything else you need by your bed.
Garden
A ladder can easily be used in the garden to create an instant trellis for your garden. Give it some time and you can have beautiful plants snaking up it. You might not even realise it’s a ladder in a few years with the amount of foliage on it!
Accessory Display
By resting a ladder against a wall, you can drape accessories over it for smart storage. Scarves, necklaces and more can be put on it, making a colourful display with easy access whenever you need them.
Christmas Tree
Allergic to plastic and real Christmas trees? Or simply trying something different? A ladder can be turned into a creative Christmas tree, with tinsel and lights easy to wrap around the shape, which is very similar to a traditional Christmas tree shape.
