Ships Ladder with Handrails

THE STORY

This ships ladder with handrails is an example of the ladder we can build for you.

Ships ladders are a hybrid between stairs and a ladder. They take up a smaller footprint than a traditional staircase but are a little more robust than your typical ladder. They have railings on the sides and an angle of 50°-70° which makes it easier to go down facing forward, like you would a staircase. Ships ladders are great for cabins and tiny homes, or for anywhere in your home that’s too tight for a regular staircase.

Client's often request a ships style ladder, looks like a ships ladder, but the angle of a regular ladder.
