Title: Which conservatory ladder???
Post by: daveappleby on March 29, 2014, 08:53:51 pm: Anyone use either the LSD extendable conservatory ladder or the Esi-dec one?

Looking to buy one and these two (whilst expensive) look to offer a good option.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

Bummer! £150 is a steal!

The Esi-dec does look good (take a look at you tube clips) but I was thinking having an extendable ladder to gain access to roof would be good?

I hear what your saying but, have tried to make do in the past with equipment not designed for the job and found that jobs take twice as long/a lot more effort. This is why I'm looking for a conservatory ladder dedicated for the job. Thinking it will be a lot quicker/safer/more professional?

Do you have to put the ladder at a real shallow pitch/steep pitch sometimes to get the bearer on the glazing bars??

The issue I have is that I have a job whereboth side walls of the conservatory are only 500mm from neighbours fence on both sides so only have that space in which to pitch the ladder. No probes with the bottom as it's right up against the fence but was thinking that such as shallow angle would put the bearers high above the roof???
