My house has multiple escape routes from the front, but the back of
the main living area is over a walkout basement on a slope. The deck
has no steps down and is about 12 feet off the ground. I'd like to buy
one of those ladders for emergency escapes, but when I looked at them,
they seemed specifically designed to rest against a wall. That is,
the top portion was a C-shaped piece with a hook at the top. It
looks like it hooks over the window (or deck railing) and then the
bottom part of the C would rest against the wall--of a second floor
story. But my deck has copper pipe running *horizontally* for the
railing and so there's nothing for that bottom part of the C to rest
against.
Anybody have suggestions?
