Post by: fishman on November 12, 2006, 04:30:05 pm

Being in my first year as a w/c, i am concerned about the frost as it effects your ladder sturdiness on paved gardens/driveways etc.Is there anything on the market that will assist stablity, any help will be gratefully received!

i dont think you'll find the weather that bad. Just make sure you don't rush when getting a safe, stable base for your ladder...an extra 30 seconds stabilising could save your life!!!!

Put some articulated anti slip feet on your ladder there much safer.

Here are a couple of places that sell them

  Where do you get these from we use them but we grind our own. It would be much simpler to buy them??   

Thanks in advance!!   ;D ;D ;) :)

I'm wfp now - but decking is lethal when it is damp or frosty.
