The Interchangeable Salmon Ladder begins

Draft dimensions and pre-cut photo

Yes another NEW version of the salmon ladder. This was a inspiration from the Koi Ladder and its engineering. I saw the ability to easily exchange it rungs in and out an wanted to convey that into a traditional Salmon Ladder type. So came the Interchangeable Salmon Ladder (ICSL) This design is built off the traditional dimensions and measurements of the ladder except it rungs are easily removable. They can be slid in and out to make any sort of combination of gaps in 6" increments in under a minute! This is simply done with good design and engineering. Here are a few progressive photos from its build. I will be making this ladders blueprints available and a video series will be put out on its steps of construction before the end of June.
