Fixing a Small Animal Cage Ladder

Introdução

I am going to create a guide on how to fix a small animal ladder. This ladder is about 12.5 inches in length and 4.5 inches in width. This ladder consists of small cylinders resembling stairs that are attached to each other with enough stability to hold a small animal. The issue with this item is that the rope holding these small cylinders making the ladder continue to fall off and detach from the rest of the pieces, leaving wood hanging in two separate strands no longer resembling a ladder. There is rope holding these cylinders creating the ladder together and it teared over time and use. To avoid going to the store and having to buy a new one I want to just fix the issue where it lies. The idea is to get a new rope from a repair shop such as Lowes or Home Depot and remove the old rope from the ladder and replacing it with the new one.

Passo 5

Begin pushing rope through the individual holes in the wood pieces (use a sewing kit if necessary).
If there is the need to use a sewing kit to drag the rope through the wood here is how to do so: Push the needle through the end of the rope and tie a knot around the rope. Once you are finished with this, push the needle through the rope holes and then sew the rope through the individual pieces.
