Context

Period: 1960
Canada: The woodworking shop of Mr Daniel Boileau based in Le Rocher, Quebec a short distance form Covey Hill, made the wooden apple picking ladders for the Waddell family orchard which was located in Covey Hill.
Function: The ladder was used for picking apples.
Technical: Apple picking ladders had only three uprights, allowing the added stability of being able to lean the ladder into the forks of branches of the fruit trees. Wooden orchard ladders were painted bright yellow both to protect them from the damp outdoor working conditions as well as to aid with inventory control in the green of the fruit trees and the grass under them.
