How to make a stirrer do it yourself

A good stepladder is needed to each owner, it can be used not only in construction, but also when working in the garden or to solve household troubles. To be confident in her reliability, it is better to make a ladder for home with your own hands.

Materials and workpieces for a ladder

For the manufacture of the stepladder you will need:

• good bar without defects;
• metal knitting needles;
• drill
• self-tapping screws, nuts, washers;
• metal plates for connecting halves of stepladder;
• nabel for the legs of the stairs from rubber;
• metal chain;
• glue joiner;
• bulgarian
• chisel;
• paper essay;
• hammer;
• screwdriver;
• roulette.

Billets for stairs and ladders are made in this way:

1. Bar cut into pieces of the required length. 4 pieces of 150 cm, 2 pieces - 37, 47, 52, 57 cm.
2. The ends of the blanks must be rounded. And if you wish, you can attach nozzles from rubber on one side, so that the stepladder does not slide on the floor. Muffle nozzles with screws.
3. On the leg of the stairs, retreat from the end of 10 cm and make a deepening with a chisel. From him to retreat 24 cm and make another deepening, the steps will be fastened to it. Since the steps will be five pieces, then the recesses should be five. The same should be done on the second timber. Next, under the deepening you need to drill and hole for the spokes.
4. With the help of the chisel to impose the ends of the steps so that they are inserted into the deepening. Make a little ends, so that when the staircase narrowed, the steps still stood tightly.
5. Billets are first polished, and then processed by an antiseptic.

Assembling stairs-stepladers

When all the workpieces of the parts are completed, you can proceed to the stirrer assembly:

1. Joiner's glue should be missed the ends of the steps and insert them into supports, score with a hammer.
2. Insert the needles under the steps and secure them with nuts and bolts.
3. Cut the protruding parts from the plates connecting the staircase. In the center of the wide part of the plate you need to drill holes and through them every two plates to secure the nut. Then drill the plates where it will be attached to the stairs. To accurately guess the location of the fastener, you need to attach the plates to the supports and make markup. Plates are attached at the top on the legs.
4. In order for the staircase to be dispersed to the sides, its parts are associated with a chain or cord, the ends are fixed using bolts and nuts.
5. If you collect a ladder with your own hands, then create her such that would be comfortable for you. At the top, for example, you can attach hooks for a bucket. You can also make a segment from a plastic pipe and secure it with self-stairs on the stairs, and it can be added there to fold the necessary tool.

Making a transformer ladder

1. Before starting construction, you need to draw the drawing of the stepladder. It will be needed in order to calculate how much the amount of materials you need to create a staircase.
2. The germination-transformer can be made of steel or duralum tube with thick walls and three centimeters in diameter, long 2 and 1.5 meters. Such lengths will also be the stepladder itself. For steps, it is possible to use the same pipe, it will be needed by an eye three meters. The whole design is assembled using a welding machine and a bolt screed.
3. To connect bolts, it is necessary along the entire length of the staircase to make through holes on the pipe, the distance between them, the same, as from the end of 30 cm. On the pipe for the steps you need to drill holes with a similar distance, retreating from the edge of 1.5 cm.
4. To connect all parts together, you need to make two clamps. On steel stripes, retreating 1.5 cm from the end, make holes and bend.
5. Make closed oval couplings. And cook ends. Attach clamps, on the fifth step, starting with the floor.
6. Drill through holes in 1.5 cm from the end on opposite sides of the pipe. Put on the coupling, insert the clamps in the ends, secure bolts.
7. Collect the crossbars, for this, rubber tips are fixed on the legs, it is possible to use plastic covers for these purposes. In order for the side of the ladder, you need to install the loop for fastening the wire hook.
8. To transform a two-meter staircase in a three-meter, you need to remove the hook, and turn the supporting part up on the hinges. The couplings will give fastening of hardness, they are put on the ends of the 2-meter pipe. If all the work is done correctly, such a transformer staircase can withstand the weight of about a hundred kilograms.

Such a stepladder is not inferior to the usual aluminum, on the contrary, it can be constantly modified, for example, reduce the number of steps or change the shape of their fasteners.

Test stepladders

Before using the stepladder, created by their own hands in the work, it needs to be pretty tested with the cargo. For this you need:

1. Put the staircase on a flat surface, to suspend the cargo on the step of the middle part. If there is a few knees from the stepladder, then each knee passes the test of the cargo separately, in turn. If the second knee is only necessary for the stop, then it can be suspended by a lot of cargo. The cargo is hanging in the back of the knee to each theater.
2. The staircase is well inspecting for defects or flaws.
3. Retractable withdrawal stairs should be well shifted and striking, and reliably stand at a given knee height. They should not spontaneously develop in any case.
4. Inspecting the stepladers of the metal, make sure that there are no deformations in the nodes, and in metal, the staircase should be smooth, without sowing and sharp corners, fastening steps to the growths should be without disorders.

One of the general requirements for working with a larger is to check the sustainability of the base and support at the top of the design. By the way, if you need to work at an altitude of more than 1.3 meters, then you need to wear a safety belt, and the staircase itself must insure another person.
It is impossible to use a stepladder if it stands on the stage of the march and work is carried out at a level that less than a meter from its upper point. It is not allowed to work on a ladder with electrical and pneumatic instruments, with welding equipment and power grids. Especially if you use a larger in solitude.
If there are materials and tools, the lap for the house can be made literally in a matter of hours, but to use it for many years.
