Just a sugestion.

479947 2006-08-22 08:50:00 That's the problem. A lighter ladder, however nice that is, isn't as strong as a heavy one. exactly, you simply cannot use it to do some things for eg climb up it with it on a 45 degree angle or handle huge amounts of use. you simply have to use the equipment wisely, not like building sites where i see 2 or more people going up a ladder at the same time :eek: tweak'e (69)
479948 2006-08-23 02:59:00 A "fun" :( game is raising a long ladder in a gusty wind. (Not to mention being at the top in a gusty wind. That's when it becomes no longer "one hand for the firm, one for me".

I always followed the old Post Office rule. "A ladder must be secured at the top before anyone climbs it". :D

I still prefer a rung or ladder step which doesn't bend when I'm carrying something heavy up the ladder.
