What about the other 10feet? Might help if you give the height from bottom of stairs to celing height. I managed normal stair height with combination ladders although I had to use as a `normal` ladder from the top of the stairs for the highest part when painting. \ \ Ladders \ \ -------- / / / Stairs / |

So things like stair combination ladders: https://www.laddersandscaffoldtowers...n-Ladders.html Multi purpose ladders - especially the 4 section ones are handy - they lock in various angles and so can do combinations of up and along: https://www.laddersandscaffoldtowers...e-Ladders.html (you can also lash on a normal ladder at the end to get more reach) Step platforms to go on a ladder are handy: https://www.laddersandscaffoldtowers...-Platform.html Not only can these be used to make it more comfortable to work from a ladder, they can also be used to support the end of a scaffold board[1], to run a platform between two ladders leaning on the same wall or opposing walls. Or if you want posh, then a tower designed for stair applications: https://www.laddersandscaffoldtowers...ld-Towers.html [1] Wickes are usually cheap for decent quality boards: https://www.wickes.co.uk/search?text=scaffold+board -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

A couple of straight ladders with a scaffold board in between them, and be careful how you balance (could probably sling a rope across too, just be sure to lash the board otherwise pulling on the rope will lift the ladders off the walls). |
