A ladder rung, often simply referred to as a”rung,”is a horizontal step or crosspiece that forms the steps of a ladder, providing footholds for individuals to climb up or down. Ladder rungs are typically evenly spaced along the vertical members of the ladder, known as stiles, to create a safe and stable means of ascending or descending.
Ladder rungs are commonly made from a variety of materials, depending on the ladder’s purpose and application. Common materials include wood, metal (such as steel or aluminum), or fiberglass. The choice of material often depends on factors like strength, durability, and resistance to environmental conditions.
