Another newbie question that's probably been covered, I did search back but found a few recommendations for a 3.5 metre double and a 3.5 metre triple...

I'm doing trad work and not used to working off ladders every day, so have no idea which is better for the job in hand.
I've got a few first customers very soon, and ready to buy. 

What's worked best for you - double or triple ?  and should I be looking at 3.5 metre ?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Get yourelf a pointer ladder, a DOUBLE 13 rung ladder and a DOUBLE 18 rung Ladder; that'll cover you for most eventualities.

























And then, later on, when you've enough work to make it worthwhile, invest in wfp Your ladders will then make nice ornaments for your van

haha i have a 7.5 metre on the van looking good most days.  I have just ordered a 9.5 metre for special jobs.

Im pretty much wfp most days, ladders only get used on special extra paying ccu or restoration jobs.
