No need surely?

If it's a flower bed, then the ladder stiles sink in a bit, and Robert is your proverbial Mothers Brother.

I use a ladder mat and find it really useful. It's great on soft and uneven  ground. It can be a bit awkward setting it under the ladder but once it's there it's fine.

Gaza!!!

Is this a trick Question!!!

Are they the ones you get a free Lollipop with  :)

Anyway your a WFP man--shame on you using ladders  ;D

Same as what's been said your ladder sinks in a bit so it's no problem.

I would get a pond liner and sink it into the flower bed, drill a hole in the ladder mat, contact Ground Force team and be patient.  you'll have tadpoles, frogs and newts in no time.

Sorry Gaza I thought you were joking, having followed a few of your threads you are a bit of a larf! 
Seriously - I have used a ladder mat for years, with a T bar set in it, it is equal to someone footing if not better.  It comply's with new safety regs too.  But personally I'm a bit of a cautious window cleaner, havent had a slip yet in 18 years, I wouldn't use it on a flower bed.  I prefer to sink the ladder in, I reckon that is much safer.
 Sorry 'bout the rain.  Hope you're not in Birmingham!
