How to make a ladder with your hands

good ladder is needed for each host, it can be used not only in construction, but also when working in the garden or for solving everyday hassle.To be sure of its reliability, better ladder for home to make their own hands.

materials and blanks for ladders

to manufacture laddersyou will need:

• good timber without defects;
• metal spokes;
• drill screws, nuts, washers;
• plate of metal to connect the halves of ladders;
• heels ladder feet made of rubber;
• metal chain;
• glue joiner;
• Bulgarian
• chisel;
• emery paper;
• hammer;
• screwdriver;
• roulette.

blanks stepladder made thus:

1. Timber sawed into pieces of desired length.4 pieces of 150 cm, 2 pieces -. 37, 47, 52, 57 cm
2. ends of the blanks must be round.And, if desired, can be attached on one side of the nozzle made of rubber to ladder does not slip on the floor.They are attached with screws nozzle.
3. leg on the stairs, step back from the end of 10 cm and done with a chisel deepening.From his retreat 24 cm and make another groove to his will in the future be fixed steps.Since then and recesses shall be five steps will be five pieces.The same is done and the second timber.Further, under the recesses and the need to drill a hole for spokes.
4. With Sause chisel ends of the steps that they are inserted into the recesses.Slightly bevel the ends, so that when the top staircase narrowed, steps still stood firmly.
5. Billets first polished and then treated with antiseptic.

Assembly stepladder

When all the blanks parts will be performed, you can begin to assemble ladders:

1. joiner's glue necessary to lubricate the ends of the steps and insert them into the bearings, hammer hammer.
2. insert needles under the stairs, and secure them with nuts and bolts.
3. Cut off the protruding parts from the plates connecting staircase.The widest part of the center of the plate to drill holes and through them every two plates to fix a nut.Then drill the plate where the will be attached to the stairs.To accurately predict the location of mounting, it is necessary to attach the plate to the supports and make the layout.The plates are mounted on the top of the legs.
4. To staircase not parted to the side, it is often associated chain or string, the ends are fixed with bolts and nuts.
5. If you build a ladder with his hands, then create it so that would be convenient for you.At the top, for example, you can attach the hooks to the bucket.You can also make the cut from the plastic tube and secure it with screws on the stairs, and there it will be possible to put the necessary tools.

Manufacturing ladder-transformer

1. Before you begin construction, you need to sketch a drawing ladder.It is necessary to precisely calculate how much material you need to build a ladder.
2. stepladders-transformer can be made of steel or duralumin tube with thick walls and three centimeters in diameter, 2 long and 1.5 meters.This length will itself stepladder.For steps you can use the same pipe, it will need the eye of three meters.Going the whole construction using the welding machine and bolt ties.For
3. bolting need for making the entire length ladders through holes on the pipe, the distance between them is the same as the end of 30 cm. Of pipe steps need to drill holes with the same distance from the edge retreated 1.5 cm.
4. to put all the pieces together, you need to make two clamps.On steel bands departing 1.5 cm from the end, make the holes and bend.
5. Make clutch closed oval.And the ends of the weld.Attach clamps, at the fifth step, starting from the floor.
6. Drill-holes 1.5 cm from the end on the opposite sides of the tube.Wear sleeves, insert the clamps at the ends, bolted.
7. Collect the crossbar, this is fixed on the legs rubber tip can be used for this purpose and plastic cover.To side of the stairs is not dispersed, you need to install a wire loop for fastening the hook.
8. For transformation of a two-meter ladder in the three-meter, it is necessary to remove the hook, and turn up on the support of the hinges.Couplings give mounting hardness, wear them on the ends of the 2-meter pipes.If the work is done correctly, this ladder-transformer can withstand the weight of a hundred kilograms.

This ladder is not inferior to the usual aluminum, on the contrary, it may be continually modified, for example, reduce the number of steps or change the shape of their fixture.

Test ladder

Before you use a stepladder, created with his own hands in the work, it should be a good experience with the cargo.To do this:

1. Place the ladder on a flat surface, on the steps the middle part suspend cargo.If there are several tribes from the ladder, then every knee passes test load separately, one by one.If the second leg only need to stop, then lower the load on the weight can be hung on it.The load is hung in the back of the knee for each string.
2. Stairway well inspected for defects or flaws.
3. have retractable ladders should be well moved in and out, and firmly stand at the desired height of the knee.Spontaneously shape they should not in any case.
4. inspecting ladders of metal, make sure that the sites are no deformations and cracks in the metal ladder should be smooth, without burrs and sharp corners, mounting the steps to the bowstring must be free of irregularities.

One of the general requirements to work with a ladder is to check the stability of the base and the top of the support structure.By the way, if you need to work at a height of more than 1.3 meters, it is necessary to wear a safety belt, and she ladder should insure another person.
Do not use the ladder if it is on the march and stage work is being done at a level that is less than a meter from the top of its points.Not allowed to work on a stepladder with electric and pneumatic tools, welding equipment and power lines.Especially if you are using a ladder alone.
the presence of materials and tools, ladder for the home can be made in just a few hours, and use it for years to come.
