could deteriorate more rapidly (e.g. dampness, excessive
heat, or exposed to the elements)?

or laid on a flat clutter free surface)?
Is the ladder stored where it cannot be damaged by
vehicles, heavy objects, or contaminants?
I the ladder stored where it cannot cause a trip hazard or an
obstruction?
Is the lader storeed securely where it cannot be easily used
for criminal purposes?

is it secured against unauthorized climbing (e.g. by
children)?
Only transport the steps when folded. This will protect them
from possible impact and damage. Before transporting the
steps, secure them properly in the directions of all possible
forces with a suitable clamping device to prevent the steps
from coming loose while driving!
