I have a 6' aluminum ladder and no convenient place to keep it.
I also have a fridge and a freezer in my basement. One says it needs 3" of space around it and the other 2". They are 5" apart.
That is a great place to stash the ladder.
It seems to me that unless they are both on at the same time, they only need to be 3" apart, and if they are on at the same time, the extra heat will make the convection work even better, so they still only need to be 3" apart. And while the ladder will restrict air flow a bit, it shouldn't be much. So it is fine.
Am I rationalizing a stupid idea, or is the ladder okay there?
