Folding chair for ladder?

Looking for new chairs and was wondering what everyone suggest. Don't want director style or the ones that slide into a cover like a round tube. Just want ones that I can hang on my ladder for travel. What's your favorite chair?
  • If your going to hang them on your ladder, buy the cheapest ones you can find at walmart. Guaranteed they eventually wont make the trip.
  • I like the Coleman ones with small side tables.

    As far as the holder goes, I zip tied the holder to the ladder and used nylon straps to hold them in place on one side. Otherwise, they moved in front of my door. The last few trips they've been riding in the truck seat.
  • We picked up a pair of these at harbor freight, along with the table the other side has a cool pouch with several cute pockets.

    I started carrying these because of weight, the two chairs seem to weigh less than one of the chairs you described in the round tube covers.

    Plus they support old backs better than sitting in the hammock style of folding chair

  • I don't know what the problem is with hanging on the ladder, been doing it for 20+ yrs and always has worked for us. Only problem is the sun shortens the life of your chairs hanging back there.

    That's what I want but taller, seat height is only 12". Thanks for posting, nice chair.
  • Director chairs with side table. Strong, built well, and last forever!

    Buy at any sporting box stores. Do NOT buy from an RV store they cost sometimes twice as much for the same dang chair!


    Those bag chairs or any of them that have those criss cross legs with slung material seats are all junk and break eventually.

    I also found a new way to attach ANYTHING 'tightly' and 'securely'. Threw out all my ratchet straps, bungees etc.
    I now secure everything with these. Going on 6 years with the same ones they just don't breakdown or deteriorate from the sun either.

    Last trip I made from up North to Florida I secured a full size extension ladder to my RV ladder with these ties. Held it tight in place for 2,000 miles!:C

  • I saw one of these recently at one of our outdoor shows, and thought it was pretty cool!
