    Did you get a "ladder stand off" too??...(40 euro in most builders providers)

    My girlfriend was up the ladder today,placing the lights on the tree in the garden and also fitting the lights to the guttering.

    Ladder stand off give you the clearence to get the ladder out past the guttering and work safely too.

    Hi,

    I know this thread is a couple of months old but if possibile could you post a link to this ladder?

    When you say 22ft, does this mean that each part is 11ft or does it mean that when it is extended it is 22ft?

    Im asking coz I need a ladder to reach my gutters and I guess I need a 22ft one too and all the ladder websites that Ive looked at are very very expensive.

    Regards

    Iba
