Title: WFP Trolley
Post by: dazza on September 22, 2007, 06:28:33 pm: I'm new to W/C and allot of the houses i see would be allot easier to clean the top windows using wfp as they are hard to reach with ladders due to roofs over the ground window and bay windows.

I'm not sure which way to go - DIY or buy one ready made, what would you recommend guys?

We are using the Freedom MK1, which is fairly weighty (including battery), and its quite bulky. We met someone recently who showed us a slimmed Freedom and it was similar to this one.

How long did it take you to source parts, assemble, etc?

It was only bought as a backup to go in a spare van, but I think from first impressions that it will be getting used quite a bit!
