difficult area to paint without buying scaffold

strongmr

How do I paint barge boards at the end of the the house when there is a pitched single floor extension below them. Can I buy extension paint brush? I do not want to pay for scaffold which would cost the earth.
Thanks

tower scaffold up to single floor roof ridge, double up planks from tower onto ridge?

you might be able to get a local scaffolder to build you something, I did that, he charged me for his time erecting/dismantling but the rental cost was not significant.

It only took him a couple of hours

(not a tower kit but ordinary builders scaffolding)

You can get a 3 metre roller pole from Screwfix - then use duct tape to fasten a brush to it. It's a bit Heath Robinson - but the funny thing is - it works.

Scaffold would cost around £300.
