Where do you store a 24-ft. extension ladder? I once hung my extension ladder on the wall of my garage, but that space was more useful for shelving. I finally got the idea of hanging my ladder not on the wall but from the ceiling. I made a swing-away support that makes it easy to move the ladder away and pull one end of it down, as shown in the drawing at left. The other end is similar, but doesn’t swing. Now the ladder is never in my way, and it doesn’t use valuable storage space.
