These are great if the decking is in the right direction (4th one down - footee)

Terrific.  Ordered.  Thank you.

I don't use ladders much but I have a few jobs where I need to go on a flat roof to access a mini-atrium.  A couple of the jobs have decking where I need to put the ladder.  Luckily, the decking is in the right direction.

I place an old thick bath towel under my ladders on wet decking. I've done this for years and it works a treat.

I friend of mine used to do that...

One day he placed the bath towel under his ladder, climbed to the top, started cleaning the window - the ladder slipped... He broke both wrists and a leg and had a massive bruise on his head. He's actually lucky that he survived.

He's 100% WFP now - He doesn't even carry ladders anymore.

And for next week's "Back to the 20th Century" discussion:-

Why I still collect on Friday evenings and/or which sunroof should I fit to my Montego to stick my ladders out of.

if you go for a montego countryman estate (now there was a car) ... u will find it has an electric sunroof as standard ... prob wont work though ............ used to have to put drip trays under the new cars in the showroom !!!!!

Yup, mine's an old thick one, and together with me being an old thick one as well, we are a perfect match!
