Anyone know where I can get a decent sized ladder. I can’t seem to find anything that extends beyond 7.5 meters and I need to paint an 18 meter soil pipe.
Thing is, other options are more expensive - zip tower hire, elevated work platform hire etc, but you’ll not be able to spend the difference anyway if your head is splattered across the concrete…you know it makes sense Paul.
Hmm
What would Fred Dibnah do?
I know 60ft is quite high for a ladder, but it doesn’t look that excessive from the ground. I used to help a guy fit TV aerials when I was a teen and I’m sure we had ladders much higher than 8 meters. Thing is it’s just to paint a rusty soil pipe. Scaffolding would mean adding other work just to justify the cost and hassle.
Height has become a homeowner’s nightmare. I should have listened to the wife and bought a bungalow.
It doesn’t look as bad as it sounds, although, I don’t mind heights but have to admit my legs went a bit wobbly while hanging over the roof contemplating climbing down it.
No chance I would go up a ladder that high. As it appears to be cast iron I would live with the rust or if you want to give a nice name patina until you need to do a bigger job justifying a zip tower.
