i new it would come in handy some time just cleared the gutter
yeh i really really must get a standoff.....squashing the gutter makes it very hard to get the cr. ap out....
now if you had seen the angle that the windys had the ladder at yesterday to do a job near me...well someone was footing it and i was dying to take a photo but he knew i was watching..../emoticons/smile.png
Smurf- what length and make of ladders is that in the picture please? I dont have a microlite standoff, but I have one of these http://www.laddersalesdirect.co.uk/more-ladders/ladder-accessories/ladder-stays-and-standoffs/ladderfix-the-compact.html I like it as just gives you a bit of breathing room without having your face against the glass. Got mine of ebay for £30 pounds.
Can you put a lot of weight on the microlite standoff, like all your weight when working on roof tiles when doing a dormer window? As I use a standoff that bolts on, to do a few dormer windows a bit like the window in your picture of window above slates, but sash windows, the one I have is almost identical to this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Abru-45020-Ladder-Stand-Off/dp/B002EL4M20/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1402093872&sr=8-7&keywords=ladder standoff
The problem with the bolts is they can snap, like they did with the person I bought my round off, as putting too much weight on it. Have to use it to clear the gutters and have to put ladder at a silly angle to reach them, custy dont want reach and wash. If the microlite standoff can take body weight i'm about 15 stone. Then might try and sell my two other standoffs to fund the microlite. thanks
After all its not called a stand-on, but a standoff. I have managed to get most of custys to accept reach and wash with dormer windows.
