love the idea, with the exception of needing a ladder to put the ladder away. Maybe a pully system to get the back end up?

I too have had my ladder in a bunch of different places over the years. I raised and lowered it on an elaborate pulley system in the last house. I would have reinstalled it but this ceiling is finished and I had no place for the counter weights. This is the first project in 40 years I haven't had to make a run to he hardware store for anything!!! One recommendation I would make is to mount the first vertical before assembling the threaded rod, etc. It was much easier.

The rolling bar is a brilliant idea. I've been using two L shaped inserts to slide in and secure the lower part of my ladder. I then run a chain through a step on the top side to hang and lock it in place on the ceiling. I'm renovating the garage and covering up the trillion and trillion of holes the previous homeowner drilled. I never thought of using a rolling bar. I'm going to use that! And replacing the Z inserts for two hooks as well. Thank god my garage ceiling isn't that high. Thanks for the inspiration!

Great tutorial. Love it! Just what I needed to store my 10 foot tripod orchard ladder. I just have to see how to get it as close to the ceiling as possible. I'm also thinking I should definitely plan for the smaller tapered (top) of the ladder to go in first over the roller, and then use 2 hooks like you did for the wider ("base") end as I feed it up there when putting away.

We've been re-organizing our garage, I found myself a narrow space between two cabinets, nothing really fit in there til the lightbulb went on, after folding the two ladders, a 6 ft and an 8 ft, I stood them up in between the cabinets. It was the perfect spot. Hubby loved my idea. If I slightly move one cabinet to one side, I may just be able to put in the 16 ft ladder too.

It's a nice idea, but that roller is extremely dangerous. A better and safer way to do this, as I've done with my heavy steel vehicle cargo rack and a 28' extension ladder, is to use those J- hooks on both ends (two on each end). You first set the top of the ladder on two J-hooks set inside of the ladder rails and facing the same direction as the length of the ladder, to hold the top rung, which would prevent it from falling/rolling off, if you dropped the other end while lifting it up. Then, you place two J-hooks on the other end just outside of the ladder rails and also facing the same direction as the length of the ladder. As you lift the second end of the ladder up, you merely rotate the J-hooks about 90° inward to now hold each of the rails. It's unnecessary, but for those who like redundancy, you could also mount additional J-hooks on both ends to mirror the setup on either opposite end and simply twist those to also hold the respective ladder rung and rails. I've used this method (the 4 J-hook method) for 20+ years with zero issues or worries, and as long as your J-hooks are screwed deep into the ceiling joists, just twisting them 90° periodically doesn't reduce the J-hooks' ability to hold onto the joists at all.
@Ray_Here

Thanks for the detailed explanation. That looks like a good solution. I never thought about rotating the J hooks like that. I haven’t been using the extension ladder as at 71 hrs old my wife won’t let me on the roof! I’m thinking about giving it away.

Ray has a lot of patience with snarky comments. For many of us who actually get off of our butts and do things (rather than just trolling the internet looking for people to insult), we have several ladders. I have two extension ladders (like the one Ray was hanging in case you don't know what they are called), two step ladders, and one foldable ladder. I have a high ceiling in my garage. Put all that together and I, like many of us, would not need to go buy a ladder so that I could hang the other ones. Ray, thank you so much! I need to get these off the ground and hanging on the wall would take up the entire thing.

I like it, but I have 2 folding ladders, an 8' fiberglass, and an aluminum fold-into-about-27-variations type ladder.... Both are wider at the bottom than the top, wider than the ceiling joists, and I really don't want to have to get one down to climb up and hang the other one.... I've got to find some way to hang it up from the floor. 9 1/2ft ceiling..... And there is a drop ceiling about 6-8 inches below the joists, so that's a bit of a b**ch too. But you gave me some great ideas to work with!!! Looking at one of those pulley systems they hang bicycles with....

I like your method better than The Family Handyman's use of rollers at *both* ends. Your way ensures the ladder won't go sliding and fall off. Instead of a threaded rod/PVC combo for the one end's support, could I use a piece of 1x2, 2x2, or a dowel? My ladder isn't heavy and I don't think an aluminum-to-wood interface would create a lot of friction when hanging or removing the ladder. Thanks!

Maybe you could make a rectangular frame out of 2x4’s. Lag bolt the frame to your ceiling joists. Then mount your hooks to that frame? Another option is to mount a few pulley wheels to hoist the ladder up. Then put a tie off on the wall. I’ve actually though this second idea would be good.

Seems odd to have to use a ladder to hang your ladder from the ceiling... I might try doing this but with a pulley to lift the end which could be tied off to a cleat on the wall. Anybody else tried something similar?

I get that comment a lot. I usually only use the extension ladder for Xmas lights so this method works for me. I think pulleys would be great. Maybe we will get some comments on that front.

My ladder is much heavier than yours appears-I believe mine ways over 50lbs Louiville ladder/300lb rated). What is your opinion on fasteners for my ladder? Are your fasteners sufficient?
@Ray_Here
@Ray_Here 3 жыл бұрын
I would think so but I’m not a weight bearing expert. You could go with heavier hardware on the roller side. The hooks on the other side should be ok. Check the weight limit when you buy them.

You could use a 1x4 as your base. Screw that into the joists at a 90° angle and then screw your ladder hanging structure to that. I think that would work.

My ceiling must be lower, having a heck of a time to get the second half aka hooks to hang low enough to have space between ceiling and hooks catching the last rung of the ladder.
@Ray_Here
@Ray_Here 3 жыл бұрын
Try sliding the extension out a bit. Then only hang the rung closest to the ceiling. I hope that works! If not, you will have to find a way to make the hooks hang lower by adding blocks to the ceiling and then putting the hooks in the blocks. Good luck!

Ha! Great observation! I usually my ladder once or twice a year so using a step latter to get it down I’d worth the effort. One of my viewers is going to use this concept but add a pulley system. I may try that myself. Thanks for the bit of humor. I accept your premise.
