Ladder wanted
Trying to find the best price and place to buy an extension ladder for my
parents. They want something like a double extension with a 150kg rating, and 6m (20ft) total length. Have found some ladders at midland ladders and these look ok. 20ft ladder is £78 inc delivery Anywhere else we could look, and or recommendations. thanks |

Things may have changed since though. -- Tony Halmarack Drop the EGG to email me. |

Last time I looked at the Wicks ones they were all DIY rather than trade rated... hence a bit too flimsy for those of us of more substantial stature! -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

Last time I looked at the Wicks ones they were all DIY rather than trade rated... hence a bit too flimsy for those of us of more substantial stature! Perhaps you were looking on the wrong shelf. I have a pair of these new fangled varifocals and I saw several trade quality ladders at Wickes. At least one of these was a 3 section job with a 9.32 max working height. It's very chunky and if it'll support a fat ******* like me, it'll prolly support one of a more substantial stature too, even if the nature of that substantiality is veering toward the obscenely gross -- Tony Halmarack Drop the EGG to email me. |

I will have another look at our local one since I could do with upgrading my one sometime soon (bought one big enough to reach the top of the house, and then made the house taller - Doh!) -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

You sound like one of these ladderholics to me. Soon as you get hold of as longer ladder, you'll just do the same again. You rung the helpline I hope. -- Tony Halmarack Drop the EGG to email me. |
