Animal Crossing: New Horizons Permanent Ladder: How to make ACNH ladders stay in place

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is arguably about the journey, rather than the destination. That said, there’s no harm in speeding up the process of reaching higher ground with step ladders. Constantly pulling out the ladder tool can get tiresome, so, fortunately, there’s a way to make those rungs stay put in ACNH. Here’s the lowdown on Animal Crossing: New Horizons permanent ladder placement for Nintendo Switch.

How to get and use permanent ladders in ACNH

Here’s how to get and use permanent ladders (Ladder Set-Up Kit) in Animal Crossing: New Horizons:

  1. Buy the Ladder Set-Up Kit Recipe from the Nook’s Cranny cabinet for 2,000 Bells.
  2. Use it to craft permanent ladders at a DIY workbench:
    • Wood x5
    • Ladder x1
  3. Locate a cliff to place the ladder against.
  4. Open the inventory, then select “Set Next to Cliff” to permanently place the ladder.

Making and setting up constant ladders is that simple — once a ladder is in place, interact with it to quickly scale cliffs. Placing multiple step ladders that stay in pace can make getting around the island quick and easy in ACNH for Nintendo Switch. It’s a great quality of life feature, though persistent ladders can also add to the look of an island.

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, plays can customize their permanent wooden ladders. It’s possible to make brown, white, and red ladders that stay in place forever (or until the player moves them, anyway). Brown is the standard color, embracing nature by showcasing the bare wood. Alternatively, it’s possible to turn Ladder Set-Up Kits white or red if that better matches an island’s exterior design.

The ACNH 2.0 patch is out now, bringing with it lots of cute new content. This includes a Froggy Chair, Bear Backpack, and loads of Gyroids — learn how to get all of them at the relevant links.
