The main difficulty in setting up a TIPS ladder is the limited number of different maturities at which TIPS are issued. This requires either building the ladder over a period of years, or buying bonds on the secondary market, or both.
And if you should need to sell bonds from the ladder to realize the income at a faster rate than planned, you may realize less proceeds than if withdrawing from a TIPS fund.
