Build Your Library Ladder Kit

Customize your ladder to fit your unique space with our versatile kit options.

Follow these steps to create a ladder that enhances your home's functionality and design:

Step 1: Determine Library Ladder Height

Measure from the floor to the track installation point. Ensure a 7" clearance above the track's centerline to avoid contact with the ceiling or crown molding. Refer to the approximate ladder height and distance measurements for the climbing position.

Optional Add-On: Clear non-skid step treads for each ladder step.

Step 3: Track and Mounting

Part 1: Calculate Total Railing

Determine whether a single continuous rail or multiple separate rails are needed throughout the room. Include curved corners if required. Longer single rails can be created by joining multiple rails with splice kits.

Part 2: Bracket Hardware

When selecting brackets, consider their clearance requirements and the type of roller or hook you plan to use. The ladder will rest 3” above the center of the track, and the choice of bracket will affect the amount of wall space required. This is especially important in tight spaces, such as between kitchen cupboards. Note that one bracket is required for every 32" of straight railing, and each curved railing requires 2 brackets.
