Hi Guys,
I work up ladders quite a lot using 11m ladders.
I am not usually that high but often working on farm sheds which can be higher than a standard houses guttering.
Do any of you recommend any ladder saftey gear? I cant drill into metal barns/sheds for fixing ladders etc.
If possible I drive my van and block the bottom of the ladder using a tyre but not always possible. I have seen these yellow ladder anchors. Its like a yellow leg which runs under the ladder and chains to the bottom. Thinking it might be worth investing... would be interested to know what any of you guys do.
I have thought about harnesses but if the ladder isn't secure and you fall the ladder would just go with you.
Also single pitch/sloped roofs, is there a ladder or tool you can use to go up on these and then stand up to work/paint, sort guttering out etc?
Just trying to be careful really... any advice is appreciated.
Cheers in advance.
