A modular ladder joint 7-1 for connecting structural members, which comprises first 9-1, second 9-2 and third receiving portions 9-3, each with a void for a structural member. The first and third receiving portions project along a first axis; the second receiving portion 9-2 projects along a second axis, perpendicular to the first. The receiving portions also have a securing means 11-1, 11-2, 11-3 or mechanism. Each receiving portion has a notch or slot on its periphery, to allow compression of the portion; the securing means may be in the form of a quick release buckle or catch which may be operated by a handle. The securing means may be fixed by adhesive, spot welding or interference fit and the joint and the rungs and stiles may be formed from a corrosion resistant rigid material. A kit of parts for forming a modular ladder and a modular ladder are also claimed.
