I've got a tight passage at the side of the house where a 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.


I don't recall the OP telling us the height he need to work at, so it
could eg be 5 or 6 metres up an extending ladder. I'd be reluctant to
climb that with just those 2 straps. At the very least I suspect a
class III ladder would be a bit mobile.
