Hi,
Regarding those "Ladder Stabilizers" for extension ladders that
I've seen in the Hardware stores and also at Home Depot:
Sounds like a good idea.
Is it ?
Any caveats or gotchas when using ?
Also, is there one brand or type that is "better" than the others ?
Have a 16' Werner, and even at that relatively low height, it gets a bit
scarry and
wobbly up there.
Thanks,
Bob
Get someone to hold the bottom of the ladder, the larger the person,
the better. Take the time to inspect your ladder for damage, check
the ladder for the proper angle, feet securely in place, etc.
Practicing ladder safety goes a long way. I use a 28-foot extension
ladder without stabilizers.
