Hi all.I need some new ladders and have been looking at these http://www.midlandladders.com/products/Double_3_5m_11ft6_Trade_Light_Industrial_Ladder-11-7.html.
Now I've never used ladders with these sort of feet on.Are they any good?what about on grass or gravel?

I personally wouldn't touch anything other than 'A' frame ladders for window cleaning. Much safer on uneven ground and a lot less climbs per day.

brilliant,but at the end of the day nothings foolproof
so be careful

HOWS THAT WORK THEN

Hi, with an open top ladder you can only  generally put it on the window sill resulting in you having to stretch up on a deep window. With the A frames you can place the ladder on the sill, half way up, at the side etc.  On a wide window frame you can put the A frame in the middle strut& clean all in one movement. there is no stretching with an A frame as you place the ladder generally half or three quarter up the window frame.

See my post on "HALF A DAYS WORK"  You will see ladders in photos.

Just imagin that the railings were no there, a long strech from the window sill to clean the tops.
