Decided to make a ladder for my SIB didn't like what was available, didn't want a webbing one and didn't want a fixed folding ladder so I made this.

40mm waste pipe.

Square PVC bar, to strengthen the pipe.

10mm floating rope.

40mm bungs.

Fishing weights, to keep the bottom rung in the water, I will add/remove weights when I test it so that the ladder still floats a metal bar would work just as well.

Stainless Marine carabiner.

Skateboard/stunt scooter waterproof gripe tape similar to 150 grit sandpaper so you get a free pedicure climbing in lol

Spaces will be adjusted when tested

Total cost without the Marine carabiner about £15

And I thought the red white and blue match the ensign well

Looking better with the step gapping adjusted.

Good job. A genuine Zodiac one is £150.
