ladder buying advice

I need to buy a ladder for domestic use, triple extension at least 7.4m extended.

Any tips on where to get one? Any ones to avoid?

Best so for on the net is £130 inc VAT and free delivery.

Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.

I'd spend the extra fiver and go for the heavy duty trade one. Domestic ladders are rated surprisingly lightly, a reasonably sized adult carrying a few kilos of kit can be right at the limit. I wouldn't want a wobbly ladder, especially at that height.

Just ordered the heavy duty one at £135 and 26kg. Hope its a goodun.

I'll need to sort out some way of storing it up against the garage ceiling, any ideas? Pulleys/Rope?????

I keep my aluminium ladder outside fastened to the wall, it's not going to rust. I've had it 20 years and it's still perfectly usable but a bit paint splattered.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
