If it is a wooden ladder, treat it with a preservative to prevent it from rotting; if it is a metal ladder, it can be painted any color to match your color scheme.
Using ladders in the garden can have a utilitarian effect, as well as adding an enchanting and beguiling ambiance. Ladders can be used as a hanger for potted plants, as a storage stand for gardening tools in the shed, or as a support for your climbing plants.
To use the ladder as a hanger for potted plants, hang the ladder parallel to the ground, assuring it is above head height so no one gets hurt. Add some wooden timbers across the ladder and you have a charming display stand for all your potted plants. Additionally, you could stand it up in your garden, along the wall of your home, patio, or anywhere you have some extra room. Add planks of wood across each set of steps, add your potted plants, and another unique display for your plants is born!
To use the ladder as a storage stand, hang the ladder parallel to the floor, about knee-high, in your shed, garage, or wherever you store your gardening tools, for a handy storage rack with dividers for bigger gardening tools, such as spade, rakes, hoes, stakes, and so much more. If hung parallel to the floor above head height, the ladder then becomes a storage rack for things like unused hanging pots, garden hoses, and watering cans.
Using ladders as climber frames will add a unique accent to your garden. They can be used as a freestanding ladder or you can mount it against a tree, pole, fence, shed, or house wall, vertically or horizontally. Either way, using the ladder this way will make an effective trellis for your climber plants. As your plants grow, you can wind them around the step rungs or the frame of the ladder, or you can use hooks on the ladder and support your climbers on the hooks. This will help to keep your climbers off the ground.
