How to make an easily cleanable rope ladder.

Having gained most of the information from the Internet to transform an atrium into an aviary for a brain-damaged person to enjoy, we had to budget tightly.

We came up with an idea to hang a fruit-tree branch from the rafters.

• We tossed a thick cotton rope over the branch with 2 equal sides hanging down.
• Then we purchased several different thicknesses of dowels,cut them in half,but of equal length.
• We made our own ladder,by sticking the dowel-sections through the 2-rope halves,to form a ladder.
• Every time the birds are fed,the dowel-sections are changed.
• The soiled ones are then scrubbed clean and dried for the next change.
