Best triple ladder size for 2 stories

[Cristian]

Hi folks,

As above what's the best size triple ladders for 2 stories work? I have been looking at the Lyte trade 3.42/8.46mtr extended, would these be adequate for 2 stories gutter work?

Cheers

7m is good for 2 storey work, and if cleaning apex by hand will easily reach. I'm assuming you mean a standard house, although larger victorian houses aren't a problem.

Thanks for the reply Clisty1989. Yes, it's just for normal 2 storie homes, so you think a 10 rung triple would be adequate for this height of gutter clearances?

I use a 6.92m abru triple from b&q, never counted rungs

wet slimy wood decking is safe as houses with the ankalad m8 pluss it takes the bounce out the ladder

[Cristian]

Ok cheers Tench, so do you think a 10 rung triple will be enough for 2 stories work then?

@Christian 10 rungs max I think. @Clisty1989 abru ladders are popular as are the lyte series. Make sure they have a catch on them whatever u buy especially since it's fairly high up work. Not all do.

Cheers Chris :thumbsup:

just a side note, check the max weight limit, some are only 15 stone
