What is the height base ratio for a ladder?
The height-to-base ratio for a ladder is determined by the relationship between the vertical height the ladder reaches and the distance from the base of the ladder to the wall or structure it leans against. A common guideline is to maintain a ratio of 4:1, meaning that for every four feet of height, the base should be one foot away from the wall. This helps ensure stability and safety while using the ladder.

What should be the horizontal distance in feet for a ladder to the wall?
The best tip I've come to is that for every four feet of height you have to climb, move the base one foot away from the wall. Better still is to have someone foot the ladder, or to fasten the ladder with a rope, preferably near the top of the ladder to avoid the ladder sliding sideways.
