Ladder storage fitted on your garage wall. Heavy-duty brackets that hold ladders horizontally - keeps them accessible, protected, and off the floor.
Stop Ladders Living on the Garage Floor
Ladders propped in corners or lying across the floor are a constant trip hazard and always in the way when parking. Wall-mounted storage gets them organized and actually accessible when you need them.
💡 Pro tip: Storing ladders horizontally on the wall is safer and takes up way less space than vertical or floor storage.

What to Expect

🔧 DIY Tips
Ladder storage is straightforward to fit yourself:
🔧 What you need
- Ladder storage brackets
- Drill with masonry bits
- Spirit level
- Wall plugs and screws
- Stud finder (for stud walls)
📏 Planning position
- Mount at shoulder height (150-170cm)
- Allow clearance below for car parking
- Check ladder overhangs don't block garage door
- Space multiple brackets for easy access
🛠️ Installation
- Find wall studs or mark masonry drilling points
- Level the brackets before fixing
- Use heavy-duty wall anchors
- Test with ladder weight before trusting it
- Adjust spacing if storing multiple ladders
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Mounting too high (can't reach to get ladder down)
- Using lightweight brackets (sag under weight)
- Fixing to plasterboard only (pulls out)
- Not checking overhead clearance (hits ceiling when lifting off)
💡 Pro trick: Mount brackets at a slight upward tilt - stops ladder sliding forward off the brackets.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🔧 Organizing whole garage? Combine ladder storage with tool racks, bike hooks, or shelving - efficient to do it all together.
Extension ladders: These are heavy and awkward. Make sure brackets are properly rated for the weight and fixed to solid wall structure.
Stepladders: Usually lighter so standard brackets work fine. Can store multiple stepladders on same bracket system.
Aluminum vs wooden ladders: Aluminum is lighter. Wooden ladders are heavier and need stronger brackets, especially older ones.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best way to store ladders in a garage?
Horizontal wall-mounted brackets work best - holds the ladder flat against the wall at shoulder height. Keeps it accessible but out of the way. Better than leaning in a corner where it falls over constantly.
Can you store extension ladders?
Yes - either fully extended on long brackets, or collapsed on shorter brackets. Extension ladders are heavier so need proper heavy-duty wall fixings, which I'll use.
Will it hold multiple ladders?
Yes - I can fit brackets for stepladders, extension ladders, whatever you've got. Space them so you can grab each one without moving others.
What about my garage ceiling height?
Standard garage height is fine. I mount ladders horizontally at about shoulder height - usually 150-170cm up. Keeps them accessible but doesn't waste valuable low wall space.
Can ladders be stored vertically instead?
They can, but horizontal is usually better - easier to grab and doesn't take up ceiling height. Vertical works if you've got limited wall length though.
