Hi all,

What would be the best height for a step ladder for trad work?

I am going to order a set of 3.5 mtr doubles tomorrow, & might get some steps whilst I am at it.

Many thanks.

I wouldn't bother with step ladders, I would buy an 8ft A frame ladder. it will easily out last a step ladder.

ive got an 8ft single pointer that comes in handy on big bungalows/large downstairs windows on big residential.i also have a small 2 section optilock extension pole for  some downstairs work.both handy tools for that extra reach!

i used to use a beer crate years ago but i think they look unprofessional now!!

You put the A frame against the ladders and carry them on one shoulder, leaving your other arm free to carry your bucket!

sounds like an accident waiting to happen 

[dazmond]

i also carry A ladder/3.5metre ladders on one shoulder from time to time with oblong bucket/rojak in the other!normally i have the 3.5 metre ladder and trad pole over one shoulder and bucket in the other!i have got very long big arms though!

i should have no problem going wfp in future!
