I give up!!
« on: June 18, 2013, 10:42:11 pm »
http://stores.buyladder-max.com/-strse-1/Ladder-dsh-Max-Ladder-Standoff-stabilizer/Detail.bok

I've been trying to find this item in the UK, spent many hours on google, ebay etc but to no avail. Is there anyone on here who can use their expertise to locate a website in the UK that sells these? Perhaps they're not available in the UK, but maybe I'm just not looking in the right places. Thanks.

They sell stand-off's, but not this one. This one can actually rest on a roof as well as a wall, perfect for cleaning out gutters, and much safer. And I'd imagine they would be cheaper than a Microlite. Thanks anyway.

That's the same as the Microlite i mentioned, a bit pricey, considering the one in my link is only 60dollars, thanks anyway.

The  one you linked to is not designed to rest on a pitched roof, doing this would probably put stresses and strains on parts of the stand-off that wouldn't be up to it.  I wouldn't want to risk it at about 20ft up!

That would explain the price of the one on midlandladders. Which doesn't seem so bad now considering delivery time.

yeah, that's what i do at the mo, never feel safe tho. Also, sometimes the standoff in too short to reach in to the facia.
