Looks ok

dont buy if they have rubber feet .some A frames has rubber feet as standard which is a design flaw
always check this first. rubber has no grip on damp or dusty ground

Used rubber feet on pointers for years and to be honest I've always felt very safe on them ,now the real hard plastic feet would slip alot more than the rubber ones in my experience

 

[Dave B]

My lyte ladders have yellow plastic feet

I think they are plastic

Too hard for rubber but soft for plastic

But they feel safe to me and if not sure i use the ankalad

No matter what feet you use sometimes you need to use something with the ladders

I have the ladderm8rix and think it is brilliant. I also have ankalad stabilisers but use the ladderm8rix more often. You still need to use common sense, you can't get away with silly angles with it. Most usefull on decking imo. That's what I had my fall on

 

[Dave B]

Most people i know who have had a fall there is wet decking involved

I had to work on nice slippery decking today no probs

 

[Dave B]

But i bet you had the ankalad legs out

My new ladder came today and I fitted my ankalad, yippee. Hopefully it will do me, I dont want to work any higher than the height this ladder goes to. Might have a couple of gutter jobs tomorrow. Got the ladder from Midland ladders

http://www.midlandladders.com/products/Abru_3_0m_Promaster_Combination_Ladder-426-123.html , I was deliberating between this and the 12 rung BPS ladder, but I wanted the d-rungs,
