I have got two old wooden ladders not sure what to do with em

[bornthrifty]

on is a free standing A frame ladder that stands about 4 feet tall
and the other extends to must be 20 feet or so


they keep leaning in different areas of my house inside and out, I get tired of them, I google ideas for them but just can't seem to pass them along just yet

I don't think they are worthy of intended use because of their age, but maybe could be made into something cool

any ideas

thanks

I've seen the A frame ones used for shelving. Ladders make good chicken roosts. I have one that's going to be roosts here soon

trellis for a climbing plant?

If I read this right, one is an extension ladder. lay it on the ground, fill with soil and compost and make a herb garden or flowers.

Have a look on here (scrolling down about 2/3 of the way) - there's and illustration of how an old A-frame ladder can be used as a compact lumber rack.

The one in the picture is a 6-foot ladder, so (with a 4-foot one) I can't say whether the idea would suit your needs or not.
