When it may not be suitable
This ladder may not be suitable for environments with extreme moisture or high humidity, as wood can be susceptible to warping or rot if not properly maintained over long periods. It is also not recommended for use near high-voltage electrical lines where conductive materials might pose a safety risk.

How to use
