The ladder should also be fixed to the side of the bunk frame and should not extend beyond 5 inches over the top guardrails or end panels. This will prevent a child being caught between the ladder and the guardrail.

Another aspect to consider when selecting a bunk ladder is the number of rungs it has. The ladder should have at minimum seven rungs and they should be equally spaced. The ladder's width should be proportional to the child's age and height so that they can easily use it. You should also select a ladder that has padded treads.
