Coaxial cable
can be used to build a ladder that is strong and lightweight.
A usable ladder can be made from a coaxial cable without having to cut or even tie the cable. Coaxial cable is strong enough to support the weight of the average person and flexible enough to form into a ladder. To make your ladder, you will need 6 feet of cable for every foot of finished ladder.
Instructions
1. Fold the coaxial cable exactly in half. You will begin creating your coaxial cable ladder from the bend in the cable. You will have two "strings" of cable, one on the right and one on the left.
2. Measure 12 inches from the bend on the right string. Fold the cable into an S-shape bend at this location. The "S" will have a top, middle and bottom.
3. Thread the left string through the "S" starting at the top. Pass the string under the upper part of the "S," over the middle and under the bottom. Then thread the string through the "S" starting at the bottom. Pass the string over the bottom part of the "S," under the middle and over the top.
4. Repeat Step 3 once more. You will have passed the string through the "S" a total of four times, twice going down and twice going up.
5. Tighten the cable by pulling on both the left and the right strings until the cable is tight and secure.
6. Repeat Step 2 through Step 5 as many times as necessary to obtain a ladder of the right length. When finished, loop the bend you made in Step 1 over a sturdy anchor. Your ladder is now ready for use.
