Do they not make wooden straight ladders, anymore?  I want one for the new garage to get to the loft, and I can't find one.  They are all fiberglass or aluminum.  Weird.

I have had wooden ladders and they tend to fall apart. Not well made anymore like they used to be. Did you see if you could special order one?

I haven't seen a wooden ladder in the store in a while. They aren't hard to make, my dad made my nephew one to climb trees with. Took him maybe an hour.

They carry them at ACE hardware. Well at least around here they do. I also saw them on Amazon and Ebay.

We had a rickety old wooden ladder that was horribly wobbly. One day when my in-laws were visiting they asked DH what he wanted for his birthday. Worried about his safety, I told them, "He needs a new ladder! That rickety old thing he uses is not stable and needs to be put to pasture!" Well, the looks I got from MIL & SIL could have killed me. I suspect they pulled that old ladder out of someone's trash and gave it to DH years before, thinking it was some prized find and a generous gift.

At any rate, SIL gave him a giftcard for Home Depot and he used it to buy a new ladder.

Why do you need a wooden one?

I just want one. I like older style things. Oh well, I'll get the metal one.

You might could find one at a flea market or antique store.

I don't really want an old one, though. I want a new wooden ladder.

Flea markets may have new ones.

I'm just saying you may have to think outside the usual box on this one.

Check ACE Hardware. I saw they had a bunch of different sizes and styles of wooden ladders.
