To snag yourself a DIY ladder in Animal Crossing, you need to progress a little in the game first. Keep playing until Tom Nook asks you to help out with setting up new villager homes. Once you’ve agreed, he'll give you the ladder recipe so you can reach those pesky high places. Just gather the required materials (4 wood, 4 hardwood, and 4 softwood) and craft it at a workbench.
Actually, the DIY ladder is essential for exploring your island fully, and it’s not something the game immediately hands to you. You unlock it by playing through the early objectives involving building homes for incoming villagers. So, no shortcuts, just enjoy the journey and you'll get there!
Sorry to burst the bubble, but you can't just 'get' a DIY ladder without putting in the effort. It's a rite of passage in Animal Crossing.
