Ladder rope ↑

The need for such stairs obvious. Is impossible without them cleaning sewers, repair of wells.

The sewer stairs are divided by the method of attachment:

• portable;
• stationary.

There is also a division according to the material used for the manufacture steps:

• of metal;
• wood;
• rope.
  

Features stationary rope ladders ↑

1. Steps made of wood or metal.
2. Rope choose the maximum density.
3. The ladder is fixed to the wall.
4. The use of metal to make the ladder of reliability and durability.
   

Have rope ladders has many positive characteristics:

• the low weight of the structure. Ease of design is an indicator of the mobility of the cable car system;
• using a minimum amount of free space. Small size makes it possible to store a rope ladder in a convenient location;
• the ease of installation. No need to look for professional tools, installation fast and convenient;
• reasonable cost. For the manufacture of rope-ladders can use cheap available materials, to find that it is possible in any home;
• environmental friendliness and safety. Rope design does not cause allergies, it is recommended for the arrangement of children’s playgrounds.

Ways of making rope ladders ↑

There are several options for setting up such a system, each has its own distinctive features.

1 way. This option requires the following materials:

• polypropylene rope is not less than 20 meters, diameter of 7-8 mm, this rope is resistant to moisture, is not exposed to stretching;
• hardwood cuttings (diameter 30 mm, length 130-140 cm);
• hacksaw;
• dense thread;
• sandpaper (fine grit).

Assembly design

The proposed algorithm build a rope ladder system:

• make a blank from cuttings of equal size (30 cm – 25 samples). A piece of length 1 m use for mounting the finished design;
• using the node «designer», attached to a polypropylene rope steps.
  

Pros:

• don’t need the shanks to drill holes for mounting;
• does not require special tools, so to perform the installation under the force of the beginner to house masters.

To prevent slipping from the stairs of rope in fixing need to make the grooves. The depth of the grooves of 2-3 mm, the distance from the edge of 1-3 cm, the width of the slot is 15 mm. the ends of the rope opilivayut that it does not dissolve during operation. Step mounting stage is 40-45 cm At the ends of cords make a loop, diameter 5-6 cm.

The last step is tying in the ends of the rope loops.

The result of your action should become a reliable and original rope structure, which can be transferred from one place to another.

2 way. This option assumes that the manufacturing steps of the wooden bars. For the implementation of the project will require pieces of wood of 35 cm in length with a cross section of 40 mm.

1. Retreating from the ends of the bars of 3 cm, an electric drill to drill pilot holes with a diameter of 15 mm.
2. Bars are cleaned with fine emery paper. To protect the bars against moisture and rot, covered by their protective antibacterial impregnation.
   

3. Fasten the rungs on the rope. Rope with a length of 8-10 m divided by equal parts. On the edges of the rope make a loop, threading the rope in the block hole. Tied under each bar of the bundles, securely locking stage.
4. Step mounting step of 30-40 cm.
5. Completing installation of rope-ladders by tying in a single knot the ends of the rope.

3 way. Rope ladder of woven ropes. Such structures are used by emergency services, the enthusiasts of Hiking and lovers of a healthy lifestyle. The feature of this system is the lack of the usual wooden steps. They are replaced by a rope loop, significantly reducing the total weight of all ladders:

• the formation of the steps is carried out in the form «Burlatsky loop». It is safe, not dissolved, can hold her hands. To obtain the loop twice them rope the rope stretch in the side of the lower part of the resulting «eight», extend the upper part of the loop inside;
• form the right number of steps, stowable rope the rope in a backpack and go in the area.

Video for reference:

To the rope-ladders are certain requirements:

• the steps need not be pointed;
• stairs should not exceed the length of 20 meters;
• the width of the cable construction must be 30 cm;
• the distance between the steps of 30-40 cm;
• the design has to withstand 350 lbs.;
• childrens rope ladders equipped with rungs of the smooth wooden bars.

Conclusion ↑

The ladder should be in the Arsenal of any owner of the house and garden. The lightness and compactness it can be used to perform work in those places where it is impossible to use a conventional stair designs. Among the main areas of use of such systems can be distinguished:

• cleaning of wells;
• the repair of the roof;
• work in the attic;
• evacuation of people;
• the conquest of the mountain peaks.
