Best Ladder To Buy For Your Home
You bought your first home and are wondering which ladder is the best to add to your tool kit. Not all ladders are the same and there are certain factors you should take into account before purchasing one. With so many options on the market today, choosing the right ladder can be a challenge. I’ll give you my personal picks for the best ladder to buy for your home.
Multi Position Ladder By Gorilla Ladders
If you’ve seen any of my “how to” videos on social media, you’ll likely notice the Gorilla Ladder I use. Not only is it the most versatile ladder, it’s also very durable. The 22 foot model has 28 telescoping positions. Use it on stairs, and as an extension ladder. Put two together and you can have scaffolding. And it can be a double sided twin step ladder.
I purchased my Gorilla Ladder when I bought my first home in 2006, and I use that very same ladder today. If you’re looking for something that will work as hard as you do, and will last a long time, then this is it. In fact, if you are just getting started as a home owner and the budget it tight, buy this ladder first as you’ll find you can use it for practically any and all projects.
Other Types Of Ladders
Although the Gorilla can do most jobs, there are still times when you need something smaller. Or when you need to reach higher than the Gorilla Ladder will go. In those cases here are three other types of ladders that are good to have.
Step Stool
A step stool is a low cost option and is great for when you need to reach things a few feet high. They are light weight and fold up extra thin for easy storage in a pantry or closet.
Step Ladder
Step ladders are also lightweight. And they usually feature a tray, or shelf, to hold paint pails or tools. They are great for quick jobs because they are easy to carry around and work with.
Extension Ladder
Ranging from 16 feet to 40 feet, and extension ladder is a must for reaching high spots. Get up on your roof, or clean your second story gutters with ease.
