Fasten Ladder for Safety

[JamToday]

Hey everyone,

I want to beef up my ladder safety further, was looking at bolting the ladder to the wall.

What fastenings and cord/rope/??? should I be looking at in practice to do this?

Also, I am assuming it should be bolted at the top or a third of the way down.

Many thanks

Eye bolts, near the upper end, then a suitable lashing. In a commercial, industrial setting, the eye bolts would need to be tested, to ensure they cannot pull out.

Unless you will only ever use the ladder in one place then bolting a ladder to the wall is fraught with problems. You have to drill fairly large holes in your wall from an unsecured ladder & then filll them in again from an unsecured ladder. So unless you intend to have a one or a series of fixings left permanently around the perimeter I would suggest investing in safety devices that suit your needs might be a better idea. https://www.google.com/search?q=lad...AeIDBBgAIEGIBgGQBgg&sclient=gws-wiz-serp#ip=1
