Simple DIY Loft Ladder for Overhead Storage
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2022
- I have a storage loft in a metal building that needs a heavy duty ladder for safety and mobility. So this is how I built my simple loft ladder to help with overhead storage.
This loft ladder is easy to build and it would work great for you too.

Well, it took me all day but I built this loft ladder for my she-shed! I watched your video about 15 times!! Thank you! 0:11
THANK YOU FOR SIMPLE STRAIGHT DIRECTIONS WITHOUT ALL THE DRAMA FLUFF ! Think I can do this one ! YOUR STEPS LOOK GREAT !!!
Just built a ladder for my bunkie following your tutorial. Thank you! 🙏
So solid, they are almost stairs! 😊
Perfect! I need this for my plant shelf that's about 9 ft high...I'm so tired of my noisy ugly aluminum ladder 🪜! Now all I need is to find someone with "skills"!
Nice and simple instructions. I am finishing an attic loft for my kids and need to build a couple ladders. This is just what I was looking for.
Nice quick and easy ladder! Well done! I have watched literally dozens of ladder videos because we are going to build a ship ladder to get into our attic, and you are the ONLY person who thought to make a jig for angling the steps! I have seen so many ways of doing it, some smart, some so convoluted that I have no idea how anyone could follow it...the jig, brilliant!
Thank you so much MissBeans. I was hoping someone would benefit from it. Just trying to keep it simple.

Appreciate u saying 15°, I was going to cut them @ some degrees all said done. Now I can do it the correct way
Just what I’m looking for!
thank you for the great directions! Just finished building ours!
Thank you this will be perfect for our shed.
Brilliant and simple 😁
Very informative, I will try to build it myself one, need it. Thanks
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Be Safe.
Great idea and vid. I would add a pair of chains, one to either side with hooks. Placing an eyelet on the ladder sides and on the wall to prevent the ladder from moving while climbing.
Great ladder that is much better!
Great video!! Thanks
it's a simple but satisfying project.
Thank you
YES!!! Happy to see you've worked your way to the top😁 This is the time of the year is guys are gonna need ladders, garlands, lights & among the other honey dos. God Bless Be Safe & thanks for sharing. "Well Done"
LOL, you got that right 😁
Thank you Anthony
Bravo, the process and narration were really enjoying to watch
Perfect timing! Thanks!
That's Awesome! Glad it helps.
You made that short look easy
Thank ya!
Great idea! 👍
Thank you
Nice job that. That ladder will last you for donkey's years. Thanks for posting.
Been following ya since pvc hacks, it's been great watching your skill grow, both in craftsmanship aswell as editing and video production, an absolute pleasure great job brother
Also consider some anti slip material on thhe feet
Thank you so much Nick, I definitely remember your name. And thank you for being apart of this community for so long.
Nice, you should add a couple of French cleat brackets so you can store it on the wall
one of these days I'll get my radial arm saw working
a ladder will have to be my first project with it
Nice one. Think l’ll build one just the same.
For a minute I thought you were going to integrate it into your french cleat wall. Actually using a cleat at the top would prevent it from slipping off by accident. Thanks for showing us this build.
You are definitely correct, and that can be done, but I will be moving it around at times and the cleats are not fully across the wall. I guess that is just an excuse 🙂 so I should have done it.
@@SpecificLove7 Just put a 16in cleat and screw it to the very top or the wall and cut a notch near the top of the ladder where you made the flat notches. Super easy. 😃
Nice ladder! Looks solid. I'm wondering how heavy it is! I want to make my own for my attic hatch, but want it lighter.. 2x4's
I like the simplicity of the basic design and you definitely did some thinking for me with the 14 degree angle.
That said, this is severely overbuilt. Glue plus three screws would hold a thousand pounds on the ledger board alone, plus the fasteners going through the actual step itself is another thousand on both sides... Whatre you hauling up this thing an elephant?
maybe 🙂
Do you have a material list?
Love it it would be great in our lofted shed just one question concerning heavier people I'm on the heavy side would this plan work for 300+lbs or different fasteners needed for safety?
I would definitely consider some heavier duty fasteners and maybe 2x8 for steps. I'm not sure what the weight rating would be for the side rails, so you might want to check that out.
I do need to say that I'm not a structural engineer so I don't know what the weight limit would be on this setup.
Wonderful, great, simple design love it! Thanks!
Hi, I was wondering what size structural screw you used there?
I was searching for a shopping list of materials in the info section. Can you help?
Great build love that jig as well. What did you mean it's not your building, as i thought it was attached to the house or have i missed something?

Maybe I misspoke. If it was a commercial building then I would have attached it. That definitely is my building and it is attached to the house. 🙂
Hey there! So, I've got this little issue with my attic ladder. One of the wooden steps has cracked a bit, and I really want to replace it. I noticed that it's held together with screws, so it seems like a simple fix, right? But here's the thing, I have no clue where I can actually buy a replacement step. Anybody out there happen to know? I'm just looking for the step itself, not the whole darn ladder. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any shops that specialize in selling attic ladder parts. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
😀
Didn't create a French cleat attachment point? Talk about disappointed.
I knew someone would say that 🙂 I did not want to limit it to only that option, But it is definitely a way to go.
@@SpecificLove7 if you put a swiveling hook on the side of the ladder, you could secure it to the cleat for stabilization, but it could still be moved and used elsewhere, so it wouldn’t be limited.
put a lip or cleat on the top to lock the top in so it doest slip off. or a screw in the foot that you could leave in the leg and unscrew when the ladder is stored. that thing will slip off and ruin your year
Shouldn’t you be using nails because screws snap?
It is possible, but since I used a bunch for each step and reinforced each step with a large construction screw, they should be okay for my usage.
elliptical integration ; how not
I had to listen to the first couple seconds of this video three times to make sure he was speaking English.
😲 you fell off a ladder?
Almost a few times. I've actually seen my father fall off one in front of me.
thanks so much, gonna go build a ladder
