Muskoka Ladder

THE STORY

The Muskoka loft ladder was designed with our client when he sent us an inspiration picture and asked us if we could make him a ladder just like that. The ladder would be made of ambrosia maple that he was using in his Muskoka cottage, was in the style of a ships ladder and had long metal handrails that extended above the ladder into the loft. We had never made a ladder like it!

The defining elements of our Muskoka ladder:

  • The sides pieces and steps are 3/4” W X 4 1/2” D

  • The front corner of each step is angled to prevent clothing from getting caught (double beveled)

  • The edges of the side pieces and each step are slightly rounded for comfort

  • Each step has two traction grooves for safety

  • The custom steel hand rails are 8’ long, powder coated and extend 2’ above the ladder

The Muskoka ladder is now our most popular style of loft ladder, our clients love it!

Customization is unlimited, different wood species, a variety of hardware types and colours, different edge profiles, just let us know how you want your ladder to look.

Every ladder we create is the result of a collaborative process that starts with your vision. We use our experience and together we design your ladder. Once you approve the design we handcraft your ladder in our Perth, Ontario workshop.
