Laundry Room Ladder Drying Rack

November 6, 2011 By Matt 7 Comments

Jacque and I recently were able to get a set of window washing ladders that her grandfather used in his cleaning company.  We’ve re-purposed one of the ladders as a drying rack for the laundry room.
We secured ceiling hooks with toggle bolts to the ceiling as attachment points.  Next, we drilled 4 pilot holes into the top of the ladder for the eyelet screws,  also for attachment points.  Then we measured the distance from the ceiling that we wanted the ladder to hang, adjusted the chain to meet that distance, and attached the chain to the attachment points on the ceiling and the ladder.  Voila! Our new laundry ladder drying rack!  We’d love to hear what you think of it!

    This could be a great idea for a pot rack too! Definitely something I want to do.

    What an innovative use for a ladder! I love seeing all the different ways you can re-purpose these items. If you have a particularly old/worn-out ladder, they can also be used in the backyard for garden vines or potted plants. Thanks for sharing!
