Repurpose a vintage garden ladder as outdoor shelving for displaying decorative items or organizing gardening tools. Place the ladder in a sheltered area, such as a covered patio or garden shed, and use the rungs to hold potted plants, gardening books, or decorative accessories. This adds both functionality and style to your outdoor space. The weathered wood and rustic charm of the ladder create a cozy and inviting atmosphere, making it a perfect addition to your garden or patio.
