Heavy-duty ladder hooks mounted to your garage or shed wall. Ladder stored safely off the ground and out the way.
Get Your Ladder Off the Floor
Ladder leaning against the wall, taking up half your garage. Or lying on the floor where you trip over it weekly.
Wall-mounted hooks solve this completely - ladder up and out of the way.
💡 Pro tip: Mount hooks on the gable end wall (short wall) of your garage so the ladder runs along it - uses dead space and keeps access clear.
Why Mount Properly?
Here's the difference:
| ✅ Done Right | ❌ Done Wrong |
|---|---|
| Heavy-duty hooks, strong fixings | Lightweight hooks, pulls out under weight |
| Mounted into solid wall or studs | Screwed into plasterboard, fails immediately |
| Positioned for easy lifting | Too high, dangerous getting ladder down |
| Ladder stable and secure | Ladder tips or slides off hooks |

🔧 DIY Tips
Want to mount ladder hooks yourself?
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Drill with masonry or wood bit
- Spirit level
- Heavy-duty ladder hooks
- Appropriate wall plugs/screws
- Stud finder (if timber wall)
📐 Getting it right
- Mark hook positions at comfortable lifting height
- Space hooks about 1/3 and 2/3 along ladder length
- Use spirit level to ensure hooks are same height
- Drill into solid wall or studs (not plasterboard alone)
- Test one hook with weight before installing second
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Lightweight hooks - won't hold ladder weight
- Not into solid fixing - pulls out
- Too high - dangerous lifting ladder
- Hooks not level - ladder slides sideways
💡 Pro trick: Mount a small shelf or hooks below your ladder hooks for storing your drill, screwdrivers, etc - makes use of the wall space you've created.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Got step ladders too? I can mount storage for multiple ladders while I'm there - keep everything organized.
Shed walls? If your shed's timber-framed, I'll make sure hooks go into the frame studs not just the cladding - needs solid fixing.
Ceiling hooks? Sometimes ceiling-mounted hooks work better if you've got limited wall space - ladder stores horizontally above head height.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of ladder hooks do you use?
Heavy-duty wall hooks designed specifically for ladders - usually metal with rubber coating to protect the ladder. They're much stronger than standard hooks because ladders are heavy, especially extension ladders.
Can you mount them in my garage?
Yes - garages are the most common place. I mount to the wall studs or directly into blockwork. Need to make sure they're high enough that the ladder's off the floor but low enough you can still lift it on and off easily.
Will they hold an extension ladder?
Absolutely - proper ladder hooks are rated for heavy extension ladders. I use appropriate fixings based on your wall type and ladder weight. Usually mount two hooks so the ladder's supported at two points.
How high up the wall should they go?
Depends on your ladder length and ceiling height. Usually around shoulder-to-head height works well - high enough to keep ladder off floor, low enough to lift it on without a struggle. We'll agree positioning before I drill.
How long does installation take?
Usually 20-30 minutes. Mark positions, drill into wall, mount hooks securely, test with your ladder. Quick job unless your wall's particularly awkward.
