I have spent the whole past year trying to figure out how to do a ladder for our playhouse. The kids have just kept a stool there to climb up to the second level and periodically a kids falls off the stool and I feel horrible about it. I've gone through SO many ideas, bought and returned ladders and step ladders, and just haven't come up with something I like yet. I started looking around again seeing if I could figure it out and I ran across a couple of deck ladders that are meant to be used on a dock or swimming pool. I was looking through the comments and someone posted a pic of his they adapted this ladder for something in their backyard and it made me think maybe I could make it work. So I bought it and it came and it is perfect!!! I took it to our old next door neighbor and he nicely grinded down the sharp edges on the steps. It was a little bit too short so I made a trip to Home Depot and came up with an innovative way of using sprinkler pipes with threads to put on the bottom so I could adjust it to the right height. I bolted in the top and it really turned out great! The kids are able to go up and down without any problems now and I feel so much better about how much safer it is!
