What is wrong with the ladder? I assume that it is either teak or mahagony. These woods are relitatively easy to come by (although expensive)--and easy to work. A ladder is extremely easy to build or repair. Use the broken parts (either rails or treads) as a pattern and make new ones, strip all old varnish off and then revarnish--and put non skid on the treads (I happen to like ground walnut shells--as used to clean turbo/jet engines) springkled on epoxy, and covered with several coats of varnish--to give U V protection). Put the new ladder together with epoxy and screws. Bob Austin
