Attach a wooden step to a ladder?

Hello, my dears 🙂

A step broke off my ladder. I've already sawed a new one. My question is, how do I attach the step?

Should I pre-drill holes in the side of the steps and also in the ladder side, then place the step between the ladder and screw it in place, and if so, what screws would you recommend or would you do it differently?

Kind regards

Hello,

so I personally don’t see the very great drama of repairing the ladder for private use occasionally, but not so

Can I make screws or nails from outside?

but under the step left and right one

and attach the step/step to it!

The step must be inserted into the cheeks. If you only use screws or any fastening elements there, only these carry the load and can of course tear out at any time.

In general, I hardly see a reason to still use wooden ladders nowadays, except for something like a high bed.

FINBGER WEG of such a patchwork if you don’t know how it goes professional. You’re back at the wrong moment faster than you love.

Heads are safety-relevant devices. They have to “plug” a lot during operation and still do their service. If there is a step (=splash) not properly attached and yields, then the scream is great. Therefore, the repair will leave a specialist company, or better buy a new one. It is better not to compromise with flickwerk and frying!

You can do that, but I don’t know if it’s holding. For safety, please replace the part (=GANZE LEITER).
