J asked:

The cages that surround very tall ladders, how exactly do they make the ladder safer? If you were to fall wouldn't you still just bounce down the cage, doesn't seem much better then having it open.

Kristy asked:

I have a tall bookcase that requires a ladder. Where can I find one online? I have searched eBay and Yahoo and have found nothing. Ikea sells them, but we don't have any Ikea stores in my state, and if I order one from their site, they will charge me over $300 just to ship it. If you know of an online store that sells nice, reasonably priced ladders for use with bookcases, please let me know. Thanks!
My town doesn't have a Home Depot either.
I'm looking for something like this that doesn't have to be attached to a wall:

joe h asked:

Hello,
I have a driveway that comes down and wraps around the house. I'll estimate it at slightly under 45 degrees. I need to get up a ladder to install a bathroom vent on the second floor from that side. How do I place a ladder on my sloped driveway without it tipping over? Sounds like a math problem, but its not! Thanks for any useful advice.

Question101 asked:

A uniform ladder L long and weighing
205 N rests against a vertical wall. The coeffi-
cient of static friction between the ladder and
the floor is 0.51, as is the coefficient of friction
between the ladder and the wall.
What is the smallest angle the ladder can
make with the floor without slipping?
Answer in units of ?.

when the bottom of the ladder is 6 ft. from the wall?

A ladder 10 ft. long rests against a vertical wall. If the bottom of the ladder slides away from the wall at a rate of 1 ft/s, how fast is the top of the ladder sliding down the wall when the bottom of the ladder is 6 ft. from the wall?

Rob asked:

You can buy the ladders, and even have them custom made, but they cost close to 1,000.
I know how to build an angled ladder.
But I am building a loft bed (6 feet high), and I want to have an angled ladder that travels back and forth.
I want it to be safe, and similar in design to the ones at the library, barnes noble etc.
What hardware would I need, and can I get it at Home depot or Loewes? I am open to interesting ideas.
