High staircase ladder and platform

RaiderHammer

Need to re decorate the stair case for the first time in this house. Need to find a way to get up there! Any ideas? Can you buy wide 70 cms wide ladders with a platform for stair case painting? Any ideas?

Yes, but....... The platforn needs to be abount 4 metres up and ladder ends need to adjust to stand at diffferent levels up the stairs.

Photos would help so we could get an idea, do you have a cat?

The ladder ends can be adjusted for use on a staircase but the max working height is given as 3.4m.
Are you sure that the platform needs to be at a height of 4m - this would seem to give a total height well in excess of 6m??

why does the ladder need to be 70cm wide??

Don't feel comfortable with a standard width platform. It's the platform rather than the ladder.

Re measured and the platform working height needs to be around 3 metres.

But would still like the platform to be around 7o cms wide if anyone has any ideas?
