It looks good but I bet it feels weird when you get out past the support.

For window cleaning you really need an A frame. It feels safer.

Yes you can and its got a wide spread at the bottom so its more stable and its also got a locking device on it so you can lock at any height

window cleaning merchants over our end called bradford ladders alloy double extensions 11foot , yellow blocks in( ie commercial use),spikes fitted to that embed themselves into the ground ....probably one of the best on the market......if you are interested give them a bell  01274..660660.. around 135.00 a pair. ;)

I use the Titan 3m triples from here. I am on the short side and find them much easier to use than the 4m double. They are fitted with the safety feet.

Ian, I replaced my ladder about 6 months ago, I got a Lyte, fantastic ladder.

Id recommend them thoroughly for trade usage.

WCS in byfleet essex,they are the best ladders you can get.
All the ladders i see for sale these days have them silly latches that you have to hook over the run before you can put them up and down.
