Ladder Brackets

I bought an extension ladder on Craigslist last year for $35. Unfortunately I didn't really have a place to put it. I think it would fit on some hangers above the garage door, but only with about an inch or two of clearance.

I had hung it on our back fence before, but the long drywall screws buckled under the weight. So I threw together some wooden brackets today . I estimated all of the measurements and it ended up pretty close.

I put a small notch on the end to ensure that the ladder couldn't slide off accidentally. It's made from old pallet wood, so I think the total cost was equal to 4 long and 6 medium length drywall screws.




Doesn't look too bad right?
