Mate, a platform is not that expensive to BUY.

I bought one to do my guttering.



I've been tempted to do the same - which did you buy and have you been
pleased with it?


I got an Ali one recently from BPS:

Not made extensive use of it yet, but with what I have done it seems
pretty good. Quick and easy to assemble and feels solid in use.




They look interesting, although working at 5 or 6 metres with such a
small width seems slightly worrying, even with outriggers.

Yup it will wobble about a bit, but hopefully not fall down. As with any
portable access device, it feels a whole lot better when tied on at the
top!

(I should also say I have not used mine at full height yet (I got the
5.5m one with outriggers and adjustable feet))

There's a job
coming up that I was going to pay someone to do (against my religion,
usually) and the saving would pay for one of these towers. Hmmm!


I looked at those before I got mine, but went for a second hand "pro"
one with larger base area rather than these "cheap" new "diy" ones.
