> I wonder what the simplest rational solution is?
Well, the simplest is for the width = 8, the first ladder = 17, the second ladder = 10, and the height is 30/7. However I decided to use GP-Pari to find integer solutions to this, which it did quickly -
Here they are for all widths from 1 to 10,000:
