I've got a tight passage at the side of the house where a ladder cannot lean at an adequate angle for normal use. I'm thinking about fitting some kind of clamp or bracket on the side of the house to allow near vertical ladder position without the risk of the ladder falling away from the building. Does anyone make such things, or do I need to make one, or have one fabricated?

Thanks.

If you can fix the bottom so it can't move then fixing the ladder about
six feet up should ensure its safe. You don't need to fix it at the top
just two places spread out.

A eye bolt and strap at the bottom holding it away from the wall and an
eye bolt and strap holding it towards the wall should work fine.

If its a big job hire a tower.
