Title: Foot the ladder
Post by: joshem on June 10, 2011, 10:52:26 pm

Not so much a problem in the warmer months but come winter I am a bit concerned about getting to those awkward windows with the small roof below them/above the front door. Was thinking about buying a ladder stopper.

Which one would you lot recommend?

I was looking at the Rojak Ladder Stopper. Any of you know how effective these are? Or whether there's something much better?

Cheers.

rojak ladder stopper is the best imo.keep a bag of sand or cement in van, to add weight by placing other side of the stopper to your ladder.your ladder wont move at all then mate.

Other option is the ladder limpet. I've used them for 27 years. Advantage over Rojak is easy to use on uneven ground. Leg can sit on higher surface such as a step.

make sure you measure the ladder upright thickness, as i brought some of these a few years ago, and they didnt fit
