Project Information

Hey Lumberjocks,

Sharing a very simple but practical project my girlfriend introduced me to about a year ago.

Rustic blanket ladders online can sell for $150+ when in reality, you can design a unique one to your space for less than $30 ($12 if you go super cheap).

Link to my DIY video is here:

The project goes through two simple methods to building the ladder based on tool limitation.

Nothing crazy! But I enjoy this project and I've now built it half a dozen times for friends and family who find the decor and practicality of it to be amazing.

You can check out other simple projects at my YT channel if you're interested here:

Happy driveway building!

Thanks! I hate overpaying (as does the entire woodworking community!), so why do it??

Those ladders are popular here too.
I make mine using 2×2 for rungs, I have a tool that cuts a 1" dowel on end of each rung. I then drill 1" hole in each ladder. Saves a lot of time and work, plus they are solid.
that explains the nail holes !
Make my quilt rack same method !
