Default Scaffold/access towers - follow-up

I ordered a tower last Friday, from he
http://www.ladders-999.co.uk/towers_domestic.htm

£260 for 12'6" platform, 2 outrigger stabilisers, and adjustable feet
for all 4 legs.
A real bargain.

It arrived Tuesday, and I was soon unwrapping it and assembling it.
Basic but well worth the price. It is a bit unsteady until both cross
bars have been fitted, then with the outriggers fitted, and levelled up,
it was very stable.
There were 2 slightly tight sections, but otherwise it slotted together
without a fault.
I bought 5 5' scaffold boards from a local supplier - £18, and screwed
in sections of 3x2 wood on the bottom to stop them moving about when
placed on the platform.
I didnt need the extra 2'6" section to get good access to the guttering,
but with that fitted, it gives a better protection against falling over
the edge!

If you are in the market for one, I dont think you can get better for
occasional use.
Alan.
