SO EASY for a kid to use

I bought this ladder for my 10-year old son's room, and it's perfect!I did my research about escape ladders and all of the ladders out there appear quite difficult for kids to set up. With this rope ladder all the guessing and set up goes, LITERALLY, out the window >_<To hook up the ladder, I bought two 3/8-in x 3.875-in Zinc-Plated Steel Plain Eye Bolt and two 1/2-in x 2-in Zinc Plated Standard (SAE) Fender Washers and screw them into the studs right under the window. That ladder isn't going anywhere other than out the window and that's it :p. The ladder and the bolts hold my weigh just fine (195 lb).The heavy-duty Carabiners are great, the only problem is that there's no way to easily tell which side is the one that opens, so I decided to use just blue tape on the ends that open. Plus, in case the ladder needs to be reset by son for some reason, I also added blue tape to the eye bolts, that way he knows that the ends with tape on the Carabiners face the blue tape on the eye bolts.It's very light-weight so my son has no issues pulling it back inside.I used the bag it comes in to store it under my son's window, it doesn't look too conspicuous if you ask me :)Very happy with this ladder.PS. Yes, he climbed out the window and down the ladder, and then back up. Twice this week now :p

Pros
  • Sturdy rope ladder perfect for 2 story balcony. Also it is very compact, no need much space to store it!
Cons
  • Relies on the strength of the window frame for support
