An extension ladder is a functional element consisting of two longitudinal parts connected to each other by horizontal crossbars called steps. The latter are supporting, reinforcing elements that ensure the integrity of the entire structure. Is it possible to make an extension ladder with your own hands?
Peculiarities
Materials, from which the staircase can be made:
- tree;
- iron;
- plastic.
The height of connection that a ladder can provide depends on the ratio of the length of its vertical supports and the load factor that these supports can support. The extension ladder is a portable communication object, which allows it to be used in special conditions: during construction work, in household life and other similar situations. Constructive character of this device allows you to make it yourself if necessary.
Advantages
Main feature The advantage of an adjustable ladder is its mobility. The simplicity of its design allows movement in all accessible directions. In most cases, carrying can be carried out by one person. Such a ladder is used for its intended purpose in situations in which it is not possible to use other methods of support and connection: stepladders, scaffolding and others. The extension ladder fulfills its intended function in the presence of minimal conditions. Only two upper support points are required for the vertical parts of its frame and two lower ones.
Tools
Set of tools required for self-assembly ladder is determined by the type of its design and the properties of the material used for manufacturing.
Wooden modification:
- sawing tool (hacksaw, jigsaw, miter saw);
- screwdriver with attachments (drills, bits);
- wood chisel;
- hammer.
Metal option:
- angle grinder with cutting wheel;
- welding machine (if necessary);
- drill with metal drills.
Assembly from PVC materials:
- soldering iron for polypropylene pipes(PP);
- pipe cutters (scissors for cutting PP pipes);
- related tools.
When choosing one or another method of manufacturing a staircase, you will need measuring and marking instruments:
- roulette;
- square;
- marker, pencil.
Consumables, depending on the type of stairs:
- wood screws (size selected individually);
- bolts, nuts, washers;
- electrodes;
- PP corners, connectors, plugs.
How to make?
Made of wood
Prepare 4 boards with parameters: 100x2.5xD mm (D – length corresponding to the height of the future staircase). Prepare required amount crossbars at the rate of 1 piece for every 50 cm. The length of each crossbar should not exceed 70 cm. Place two vertical boards strictly parallel on a flat surface. Place the prepared planks - steps - on top of them at an equal distance. The ends of the planks must coincide with the edges of the boards. The angle between the vertical and horizontal elements should be 90 degrees.
Carefully, so as not to displace the resulting structure, lay the remaining 2 boards in the same way as the first 2 were laid. You should get a “two-layer staircase”. Check the angles between the parts again. Using self-tapping screws, secure the strips located between the two boards at the points of their contact. To prevent the workpieces from cracking from screwing in the screws, it is necessary to drill a mounting hole for them. For this, a drill with a diameter not exceeding the diameter of the self-tapping screw is used. At least 2 screws are screwed into each point of contact between the planks on each side of the stairs.
This type stairs are one of the most practical. Its design allows you to assemble a connection device of almost any length and easily withstands maximum permissible loads. For production, improvised materials can be used Construction Materials, which can be used for other purposes after dismantling. There is no need to make any cutouts, stops for step strips or other additional manipulations.
Important! In order to make a wooden ladder with your own hands, you need to select materials that do not have structural damage: knots, cracks, cuts and others. It is not recommended to connect two staircases of this type to each other.
Made of metal
To manufacture the structure, you can use a square or square profile pipe rectangular section However, the second option has undeniable advantages over the first. This staircase can have several modifications. In the first option, 2 vertical supports of a rectangular profile are connected to each other by strips of the same material. In this case, the planks are attached to supports with inside the latter. In the second option, the steps are attached to the vertical parts on top of them. To make the structure lighter, a smaller diameter pipe can be used as cross bars.
By analogy with a wooden staircase, a metal staircase is assembled by connecting horizontal planks to vertical supports. With help welding inverter the workpieces are welded together. Particular attention is paid to the angle between the parts and the strength of the weld. The degree of safety when using the device depends on the quality of these characteristics.
Properties metal structure allow you to equip the ladder with hooks that can hold it in the desired position and a support platform for your feet. The latter can be moved in height. To implement such a modification of the platform, its fastenings are made, based on bolted connections allowing it to be fixed at the desired level.
From PVC pipes
This method making stairs is the most impractical. Its features are: high cost of materials, low structural strength, and complexity of assembly. To make a staircase from PVC pipes, you must use the latter with an internal diameter of at least 32 mm. It is desirable that they have internal reinforcement with metal or a temperature-resistant layer. Connections between vertical supports and horizontal steps are made using PVC tees.
For maximum safe use stairs made of PVC pipes, its height should not exceed 2 m. Otherwise, when a working load is applied, it may undergo structural deformation, which may threaten the life and health of the person using it.
When making stairs from one material or another important role plays the design drawing. Its presence will ensure the best quality assembly.
Operating rules
An extension ladder is a device that requires increased care during operation. The support for its upper point must be stable and strong. The lowest point of the ladder is installed only on hard and level surfaces. Do not use on soft, slippery or sandy ground.
The angle between the base of the ladder and its upper support point should be optimal. The structure should not tip back under the weight of a person, and its Bottom part move away from the support. It is unacceptable to stand on the last 3 steps of a ladder if its design does not provide foot rests, a staging platform or other fixing fasteners.
You can see how to make an extension ladder in the following video.
Metal stairs are made of steel and aluminum. Steel stairs they are made extensively, and they are distinguished by increased strength characteristics; steel is also used to create external structures. Extension ladders and stepladders are made from aluminum (see. Prices for aluminum ladders start from 2,000 rubles, and for steel ones from 30,000 rubles. However, you can make a ladder yourself much cheaper, for this you need to know how to metal, and also have enough free time.
Types of stairs and their features
Let's look at the main types of stairs and their features:
Extension ladders. They are characterized by relatively low weight and mobility. They consist of two supports connected by crossbars.
Marching stairs. This type is more complex in design than ladders. They consist of beams fixed at a certain level with fixed steps. There are single-level and multi-level flight stairs. The supports for the flight of stairs are stringers or bowstrings.
Spiral ladders. The steps of such a staircase are attached to the central beam on one side, and to the railings and balusters on the other. To make this ladder yourself, you need metal beam and wood or profiles to make steps.
Bolt stairs. To make this type of stairs you will need bolts (strong bolts), a durable sheet of plywood or steel that will serve as the wall. This type of stairs is made by attaching railings and steps to the wall with bolts.
Thus, we can conclude that it is easiest to make extension and flight stairs from pipes.
Staircases are usually made from pipes with stringers (left) or without supports - a “floating” option (right)
DIY ladder
In order to make an extension ladder yourself, you need to prepare a number of the following materials and tools:
two profile pipes 2.5 meters long and 40x40 mm in diameter;
ten segments from profile pipe length 30 cm and diameter 40x40 mm;
four plates with a cross section of 40x40 mm;
twenty steel angles;
primer for metal;
a flat surface to carry out work, you can use a wide table.
Finished staircase, stripped of seams After all the tools are prepared, they begin to work. The extension ladder should be made in the following order:
steel supports are laid out on a flat surface at a distance of 30 cm from each other;
marks are made on the supports along the length, the distance between the marks should be 25 cm;
Corners are welded to the marks; they should be positioned so that they serve as an additional clamp for the crossbar;
Ladder frame with rungs After this, two short profiled sections of pipe must be welded to the supports (one section is welded on top, the other on the bottom), the result should be a rectangular frame;
after this, the remaining profiled sections of pipes are welded onto the frame, and they are laid on the corners;
square rectangles are welded to the ends of the supports; this operation is carried out so that water and earth do not get inside the stairs;
after welding, the marks are cleaned with sandpaper or a grinder;
The stairs are coated with a primer and painted.
Ladder frame and set of rungs After all these operations, the ladder is ready, you just need to let it dry. It is best to use for making stairs, since this light material and at the same time quite durable.

Do-it-yourself marching staircase
Marching staircase more complex design compared with ladder. To manufacture it, it is necessary to carry out a number of mathematical operations in order to calculate the following parameters:
the number of steps is calculated by dividing the required height of the stairs by the width of the step;
the length of the stringer is calculated by the formula: LК=(LЛ2+NL2)1/2 (LК – length of the stringer;
LL – length of the stairs; NL – staircase height);
the load on the stringers is calculated using the formula: Q=mst 1.1+mch 1.4 (Q – design load on the stringer; mst – mass of all stages; mch – the mass of all people who can be on the stairs at the same time);
the profile cross-section is determined by the following formula: I=5.2 b Q LК/E (I – profile cross-section; b – step width; E – steel elasticity index = 2100000)
the width of the stairs should be 80-120 cm;
tilt angle – 45°
optimal height between steps – 12-20 cm;
the optimal depth of steps is 25-40 cm;
The height of the railing is assumed to be 90 cm (for adults) and 60 cm (for children).
Ready-made pipe staircase base The dimensions of the flight of stairs must correspond to the dimensions of the room - height, width and area.
To make a single-flight staircase, you will need the following list of materials:
metallic profile rectangular shape for stringers;
metal profile for mounting the frame under the steps;
grinder for metal (instead of a grinder, you can use a hacksaw);
welding machine;
3 mm diodes for the welding machine;
sandpaper or grinder;
level and corner;
cement;
2–4 anchor bolts;
primer for metal;
paint for metal surfaces;
Metal staircase base After everything necessary calculations all carried out and prepared necessary materials and the tool begin to install the flight of stairs. The installation sequence is as follows:
pipes are cut for the manufacture of stringers and the ridge of the frame for the steps;
stringers are secured to supports by concreting and using anchors;
then sections of metal pipes are welded to the platform, resulting in a comb-shaped frame;
Simple design metal stairs Work must be carried out strictly according to calculations and the drawn up installation drawing;
each welded stage must be located strictly parallel to the previous stage;
the angle of inclination of each element is controlled using a level;
after everything welding work When completed, the finished structure is primed and painted.
After completing all these operations marching staircase ready.
conclusions
In conclusion, we note that no matter what design of a metal staircase you make yourself, it will be an order of magnitude cheaper than if you buy it ready-made.

Not so long ago, a swimming pool was an attribute of luxury. Already today it is a traditional part of the exterior of quite a few houses outside the city and within the city. Modern market offers such structures in different shapes, sizes and designs. They differ in the type of device and installation method.
However, the pool has a unifying characteristic, which is expressed in the need for a ladder. This applies to both inflatable structures and permanent structures. Quite often today, home craftsmen make their own pool ladders. They have special requirements. For example, the descent should be comfortable and safe, as should the exit from the water. In addition, the staircase structure should also serve a decorative role. Therefore, it is necessary to think about the shape of the stairs at the stage of choosing a pool.
In order to avoid injury, it is important to ensure that the ladder - made of stainless steel or any other material - meets certain requirements. Among them, we should highlight the strength of the material, good illumination of the descent site at any time of the day, as well as anti-slip characteristics. If you do not plan to purchase a ladder for the pool, it is easy to make it yourself. Then it will have all the necessary parameters.
What to consider before starting work
Today, staircase structures for swimming pools are represented by the most in different forms. Along with the usual options, there are steps going in a circle. You can purchase both screw and rotating structures. Sometimes property owners with a swimming pool have facilities for slides. This allows you to get a real attraction.
When choosing design features stairs for a frame pool, it is necessary to take into account the shape of the bowl, its features and dimensions. If the pool is not in-ground, then the best option there will be a structure that will allow you to climb onto the side and go down into the water. Most suitable material For such a system, metal acts. It can form the basis of pipes.
If you have a sunken bowl on your property, then you can make a pool ladder yourself using the Roman-type design principle. She will look like closed system with rounded steps. Today, Roman ladders and stationary ladders are known. The latter type is laid out at the time of planning the pool. The steps in this case are insulated and lined. The material is usually polypropylene, as it has high thermal conductivity and is almost non-slip.
The first steps usually have large area, due to this, several people can be accommodated there at once. With this design you can create a real area for children's games and relaxation. You can create a staircase in the form attached version. This design is attached to the side and is quite often located under plastic stairs.
Manufacturing process
If you are going to make a pool ladder with your own hands, then to attach the parts you need to take care of the availability welding machine. The units can be secured using fasteners, such as bolts. However, in terms of reliability, the first option wins. The material for the steps can be corrugated reinforcing bars. They will prevent slipping.
The further process of manufacturing the structure requires compliance with some nuances. If you are thinking about the question of how to make a ladder for a pool, you should remember that hardware should be protected from corrosion. To do this, they are treated with a polymer protective composition. For steps are used metal sheets, however, they are not able to prevent sliding. Therefore, reinforcement acts as the most suitable option.
If you still decide to use sheets, it is recommended to rubberize them. A channel or pipes are prepared for the frame. This material will be laid on edge, and then steps can be installed with some steps. It is important to pay attention to the evenness of the corners. The steps should be parallel to the floor surface.
Using a welding machine, you can make railings from a metal corner. At the end of the assembly, all sharp corners are cleaned. Sandpaper will help with this. Once the staircase is made, you can give it a finished look. To do this, using a grinder with an emery wheel, all welds are processed. It is important to pay Special attention sharp corners and protruding parts.
When making a ladder for a pool, it is important to avoid exposure to the structure negative influence corrosion. For this purpose the products are processed special composition. The surface should be degreased, only then can you begin to apply the mixture.
After drying, the structure is treated with a metal primer. At this point we can assume that the manufacture of the stairs is completed. The resulting structure can be decorated. For this you should use the most different variants. Some paint the product or use elements of the original finish.
Making a wooden staircase
One more excellent option The material for the stairs can be wood. In this case, the structure will be adjacent to the side. First, measure the length of the boards. For strength, it is necessary to fasten the elements using metal plates and self-tapping screws. Then measurements of the structure are taken; if necessary, you can adjust the material by removing unnecessary ones.
The surface is cleaned with sandpaper. In order to improve appearance products, it can be fired gas burner. This will make the wood texture more expressive. The boards are attached at the next stage using self-tapping screws; the final step is to apply varnish. It is worth remembering that wooden pool stairs, although quite simple to manufacture, are short-lived. When exposed to water, they quickly become unusable.
Features of making stainless steel stairs
If you still don't know what material to choose for making your stairs, you can consider stainless steel. Among its advantages are:
- durability;
- ease of care;
- attractive appearance;
- resistance to water and reagents;
- ease of installation.
If you are making a stainless steel pool ladder, then you need to lay the anchors at the construction stage. The ladder will be attached to the sides. Fixation can be carried out not only with anchors, but also with special glasses, which are installed after the construction of the structure and finishing work. Inside the pool, the system should rest against rubber gaskets that will protect the walls from damage and the material from corrosion.
Preparation
To work with stainless steel you will need following materials and tools:
- drill;
- drill;
- Bulgarian;
- cutting discs;
- felt circle;
- nozzle;
- screwdriver;
- marker;
- hex wrench;
- level.
You can get rid of burrs and errors in the ends using a nozzle, while a felt wheel will help polish the surface. Additionally, you should purchase grinding paste. You can make a stainless steel pool ladder from pipes, the diameter of which varies from 16 to 50 mm. They will be needed to make handrails, racks and strings. Depending on the number of racks, you should prepare the required number of tips. You will need 6 x 40 mm self-tapping screws, as well as anchor bolts with nuts.
Work methodology
You need to start work by making the upper and lower racks. As soon as the necessary pieces are prepared, their ends should be cleaned. From the set of components, tips are taken, which consist of a cradle and a leg. The tip should be placed on the stand. The cut of the stand will be hidden by a cap. Once the racks are prepared, they can be installed in place.
Fastening is carried out by mortgages with an internal diameter of 25 mm. Before you start making a pool ladder, a drawing should be prepared. It will help you understand how to avoid mistakes.
Features of making stairs from plastic pipes
If you decide to make a staircase from polypropylene pipes, then as side elements you should use 32 mm products in which 20 mm holes are made. Pipes with the appropriate parameters are inserted there. When making a ladder from a plastic pipe for a pool, you will need to connect the side elements to the main lower load-bearing part. Its diameter should also be 32 mm.
An adapter that has a right angle is used for connection. This structure can be secured to the pool wall using brackets. This approach allows the lifting system to be removable.
Conclusion
The main condition for the operation of the pool is the presence of a ladder. The process of its production is characterized by accessibility, since to achieve the goal it is not necessary to have special qualifications and skills. The ladder for a frame pool can be made of different materials, among others, we should highlight wood, metal, and stainless steel. Some home craftsmen even use plastic pipes.
DIY pool ladder depends on the volume, design of the bowl and your capabilities.
You can install a pool ladder with your own hands, or for permanent ones. What is the best material to make a staircase from?Let's consider each option separately, their pros and cons.
ADVICE!Most appropriate place for installing stairs - the most illuminated. A bright place makes it possible to easily climb and descend slippery steps.
Make a pool ladder perhaps from various materials:
- stone,
- concrete,
- wooden,
- metal,
- plastic.
Stone staircase
It is stationary and usually placed with outside pool bowls, stone staircase looks very beautiful and will decorate any pool. But if you build a stone staircase inside the bowl, then over time pool steps will be covered with plaque, will slide and pose a danger to vacationers.
ADVICE!To ensure safety, be sure to install handrails on the sides. of stainless steel or aluminum, and the steps themselves are finished with slabs with anti-slip notches.
Concrete staircase
Since she's covered finishing materials suitable for finishing steps. It has an anti-slip surface, a wide step projection and can serve not only as a descent, but also as a place to rest. The downside is that often concrete structure takes up a lot of space and is not suitable for small pools.
ADVICE!Approximate proportions for concrete mixture: proportions of concrete M20 1 × 2.8 × 4.8 (cement, sand, crushed stone.). Water is added based on the specific situation.
Wooden staircase
Just like stone, it is often built for the protruding sides of the pool from the outside. But there are exceptions, if the wood is coated with a special varnish for floating ships. In this case, the tree can withstand constant exposure to water and not rot. Unlike stone, wooden is portable and can be removed at inconvenient times.
ADVICE!To reduce the impact of water on wood, it is best to treat the structure with special impregnations that prevent rotting, or with water-repellent paint.
Metal staircase
For both large and small pools. Installation of stairs to the pool can be attached to a bowl, or can be mounted. They are made of alloy and black steel and have anti-corrosion properties. This staircase is easy to maintain and affordable.
IMPORTANT!During operation, low-quality metal will begin to rust. Before purchasing, you need to familiarize yourself with its composition. The more nickel it contains, the more reliable and durable the metal.
Plastic steps
The simplest and cheapest option. This is a stepladder that is usually used for frame pools. There is an option to assemble a ladder from polypropylene pipes with your own hands. A similar ladder can also be installed in any recessed bowl. Its disadvantage is that the structure is unstable and is not intended for people with heavy weight.
Types of staircase structures
- Roman ones are divided into stationary and attached.
Stationary ladders are laid immediately when the pool bowl is filled. They may have different appearances, but the size according to GOST must be observed. Namely, the angle of inclination should not exceed 30-45 degrees. Or the stairs will be too steep and dangerous. A width steps for the stairs to the pool should be the length of an adult's foot or wider. If this is a design for a children's pool, then ideally the width should correspond to the size of the child's foot. Add-on Roman steps are ready-made steps with or without railings, which are easily and simply installed in the pool bowl.
The Roman staircase is the best option For permanent pool without sides. Its steps are often round, and the descent into the water is smooth and pleasant. You can also use a metal staircase that has steps on only one side. It is attached to the board.
- Metal attachments have a wide selection on the market.
They present all kinds of designs with a pair or several steps, depending on the depth of the pool. Have different kinds fastening to the sides, wall and floor of the bowl. For flanges and embedded parts. A more reliable option is to install a chrome ladder while finishing the pool.
- Ladders stepladders
They can be plastic and metal, stationary and portable. Naturally, the advantage of a stationary metal staircase is obvious. But it is desirable that it be an indoor pool, since despite the anti-corrosion weather Over time, the staircase will become unusable. As for plastic, this is a lightweight prefabricated structure made of plastic pipes; you can easily assemble it with your own hands for the duration of the use of the frame pool. These stairs are double-sided, which is another advantage.
Making steps from stone
Since the stone staircase is installed as a lift to the pool bowl, there should be no problems with its installation. The main thing is to have a rock or pebble on hand. For pebbles, it is advisable to make a mold from reinforced mesh. The stones are stacked on top of each other in such a way as to take the shape steps for the stairs to the pool . And they are attached to each other using cement mortar.
Making steps from concrete
Concrete staircase installed after the pool bowl has been completed. The shape of the future staircase is created using metal reinforcement and plywood. She bends easily taking required type. You can put together formwork for a future staircase from boards. After the frame is erected, the mold is poured. To prevent concrete from cracking in the heat, it is watered daily until the material dries completely.
Making steps from wood
Do-it-yourself wooden ladder for a pool represents a stepladder. It is made of beams with a section size of 60 by 40 and strong boards made of durable wood for steps and an upper platform for convenient descent into the water. The main task of such a ladder is stability and mobility. The steps are fixed into the grooves of the beams and secured with metal rods for reliability. Wooden staircase sand well so that the wood becomes smooth and cover with stain and varnish. To minimize the impact of water on the material, it is advisable to lay rubberized mats on the steps.
Making steps from metal
There are a lot of options for chrome stairs, both external design and in terms of functionality, you can buy a ready-made one. Or you can do it yourself using a welding machine and metal. Select a suitable drawing, measure the parts and weld them to each other. Parts can also be secured with galvanized bolts. Typically, such a ladder looks like a stepladder. The metal is treated with anti-corrosion substances. The steps are covered with anti-slip material. A rubber pad is placed on each leg of the metal ladder to prevent damage to the bowl lining. Such a ladder will be reliable and can withstand heavy loads.
The minimum cost of a ladder for a stainless steel pool is 5,000 rubles.
Making steps from plastic
The simplest option, which is purchased at finished form and assembled according to the instructions.
The minimum cost of a ladder for a plastic pool is 1,800 rubles.
Conclusion
Whatever ladder you choose, it must be reliable and safe first and foremost. This staircase will be convenient and pleasant to use for many years. Even if it is stationary. By the way, portable wooden or metal staircase, V winter period, can serve as an excellent flower stand in the winter garden!
