Ladder: Who Invented It?

The use of Extension Ladders in garages is now common, but have you ever wondered what it was made of? At first, they were wavy grass structures.

Ladders are depicted as ancient technology and tools in a rock painting from the Spider Caves in Valencia, Spain. The artwork dates back at least 10,000 years. The rock painting depicts two naked individuals carrying bags or baskets. The honey from a wild honeybee nest was extracted using a grass ladder that was long and wobbly. It is believed that ladders originated in ancient Egyptian and Hebrew cultures.

To retrieve honey from wild bees without bee sting protection, it would have taken a braver person than me to climb a shaky grass ladder if there had been a veil at that point.

I believe that ladders are a necessary part of human exploration, not only of faraway lands but also of previously inaccessible areas. In the past, ladders were used to get raw materials and food for survival. How come we now have so many?

We mostly do things around the house on our own for proper upkeep with Heavy Duty Extension Ladders; “An Englishman’s home is his castle” is an old saying, and people naturally want to keep their homes in good condition. The roof, gutters, fascia boards, upstairs windows, and repointing work are the most difficult parts of your house that people see. Cracked or broken tiles can cause leaks in your home.
