Materials Needed:
- two ladders of same height
- plywood cut to varying lengths
- paint (for ladders and shelves)
Step 1
Paint two identical-height ladders and let dry. Place them next to each other with their steps facing out.
Step 2
Measure for the shelves. You will need boards that span between the ladders and rest about six inches beyond each step. Have a home improvement store cut the boards to size. (They will be shorter at the top of the ladder, longer at the bottom.) Paint, then let dry.
Step 3
Set the boards on the steps.
