Other things to consider

While some materials like fibreglass are fairly weather-resistant, we don't recommendstoring any ladder outside for long periods of time. Keeping your leader in an outdoor environment can lead to problems such as: Choose the Right Material: Opt for ladder covers or tarps made from durable, weather-resistant materials such as heavy-duty polyethylene or waterproof polyester. These materials provide excellent protection against rain, snow, UV rays, and other weather conditions. Choosing an indoor space for ladder storage is the ideal way to avoid all of these, preferably with adequate ventilation to prevent moisture from damaging your ladder. Lubricate Moving Parts: Apply lubricant to any moving parts of your ladders, such as hinges or pulleys. This helps reduce friction and ensures smooth operation. Use a silicone-based lubricant or a lubricant specifically designed for ladder maintenance.
