Installing new rope on extension ladder using Bowline knot 

This is not how to do it. The knot used is fine but ALLAYS tie the 2nd knot to the same rung as the first one. That way the the rope will neatly follow up as you raise the ladder. No floppy rope to have around. Always use static line if not using original ladder rope.

Thank you for showing us how to restring an extension ladder! You might want to try “Ladder Mover” for the easiest way to move any size and type of ladder. Thanks for posting!

Well explained great knot. Easy video to follow and understand. Thank you sir well done👍🏼

Gracias por enseñarme como se coloca la cuerda en la escalera de extensión

Thank so much for your video

The bowline is an excellent knot used often in boating. It's best attribute is that it can be easily untied even after subjected to a heavy load. For your application there are much better options. Thanks for posting the video!

Thanks for the very helpful video lesson. I followed your instructions using nylon rope (because it is softer on the hands than poly rope) and had it done in no time.

Nice bowline but I find it safer to tie both knots onto the bottom rung of the "fly" aka operable section.

I think that your video answered some of my questions. But I still have a question for you. When replacing the ladders rope....why don't you completely extend the ladder COMPLETELY. I had been led to believe that full extension was a MUST in order to ensure that the replacement rope was long enough.

Thanks. Simple and easy to follow. Just what i was looking for

Thank you, Pavel, for this helpful instructional video. Beautiful bowline knots!

Excellent video. I was wondering how I extend a long ladder! Those catches that lock the ladder in position and allow you to raise and lower the ladder, what are they called, and where can I buy them? We don't seem to have anything like that in the UK.

How long does it take to burn an end of a rope??

UPDATE:What I have found is that this rope is shrinking even thou ladder is in a garage! It has shrank at least one inch. So the extending part of ladder doesn't fully slide down & it doesn't "lock" back in position (it is hanging on a rope bit). No big deal for me as I have it laying down for storage but it might be problem for those who stand the ladder against the wall. Great news is that it doesn't affect functioning of ladder in any way.

Thanks!

Thanks for the video, I will try this out on a 24 foot ladder that needs some new rope.

If you’re doing a video of tying a knot, you need to zoom in so people can see what you are doing.

Your ladder will NOT go all the way down the way it is tied too short.
