Ladder length
Ladder length
I need to get a ladder to get on the roof, how long a ladder do I need (roughly how high is an average house)? Only need it to get maybe a little above the eaves, not right to the top of the roof or anything.
The longest one at B&Q extends to 8.24m, will that be sufficient?
Gord Yes mate thats ok for what you want, i have one also.

So the ladder's arrived, and bought some brackets to put it up on the wall in the garage.
Obviously I don't want it to fall off the wall and on to the car - how heavy duty do I need to go with the fixings? Can I just use large rawlplugs or do I need to use bolts and the metal anchor thingys in the wall like they use when hanging TVs?
Marsdendean I would just use some 7mm brown plugs and 2.5" screws. Not unless they weigh in excess of 50KG!!
