    Can this ladder bend like this 🪜?

    • Scrooge McDeal on 20/02/2023 - 22:43

      Ofcourse not. This Gorilla ladder it's aluminium.

    Sounds like such a great deal but wishing it was shorter. Because i’m not sure how many times i would need to climb so far above and over the house…

      Time to get a taller house obviously…

      Ohh it also handles 130kg, so gain some weight if you like (presumptuous, I know)

    Being almost 8m tall, do you need some sort of stabiliser to make sure it doesn't slide sideways?

      I have the Gorilla 3.1-5.3m version of this extension ladder. I got the matching Gorilla stabilisers (that unfortunately Bunnings doesn't sell) and also a ladder helper, so it is super safe, even thought it takes a while to set up correctly.

      That being said you can never be too careful on an extension ladder!

      • Ulysses31 on 21/02/2023 - 19:23

        Or any ladder. See: Molly meldrum

    • PlaunsJanus on 21/02/2023 - 18:58

      I'd just tie it off at the top and the bottom.
      Move a roof tile and tie to a beam.
      Remove a sheet metal screw for a longer one.

      You want a longer ladder so you can maintain contact easier when getting on or off. Use it like a hand rail.

      The stabilisers can be quite heavy and aren't a substitute for two fixing points. I'd be using a body harness with a fall restraint if you think climbing an unsteady ladder is difficult

  • dammit on 21/02/2023 - 00:39

    I’m needing a ladder to get up 2 Stories high so about 6m on my house, will measure with the laser beam but this might just reach I imagine once the angle is considered. Wondering how does one keep this in place when climbing so high , so they don’t die !! Does it hook over a gutter?

    • Waynes world on 21/02/2023 - 01:27

      Ladders don't come with hooks. You can buy various safety apparatus like…

      Ladders Little Helper
      or
      Lock Jaw Ladder Grip

      Setting the ladder on a solid flat surface is the first step.

      If you really are new to ladders though I'd watch a couple of safety videos.

    • frugalferret on 21/02/2023 - 01:34

      If you don't know how to safely use an extension ladder, then there is no point buying this ladder.

      Ladder falls are the most common DIY injury and 1 in 10 falls result in brain injury.

      Seriously - if you don't know the answer to this, then don't climb a 7.6m ladder.

  • montorola on 21/02/2023 - 00:40

    Dumb question but is there a way to gauge the height of a house before buying the ladder?

    • PresidentClinton on 21/02/2023 - 00:43

      • Bargain4Days on 21/02/2023 - 04:41

        Old school, just shoot out your measuring tape, or the modern solution is to grab a laser distance measurer

    • Mikedrop89 on 21/02/2023 - 12:52

      Measure the ceiling height from the inside that should give you an indication.

      count the bricks, then multiply your answer by 1 brick length plus a mortar line above it.

        Standard brick gauge is 82mm. 72mm high brick, 10mm bed of mortar.

        Just a guide. Other gauges are used as required.

    • Master Bates on 21/02/2023 - 08:19

      What is wrong with the cord? Does it get stuck?

      • Camm90 on 21/02/2023 - 08:26
        +2

        Cord has no issues really, it's just not taught. If you're mindful when moving or carrying it's no issue but could get snagged on things.
        Also when storing or loading you have to be mindful of where it is.
        Easily solved with some removable cable ties or something like that.

        • slipperypete on 21/02/2023 - 08:39

          ok understood

      can you share why?

      • SydBoy on 21/02/2023 - 10:01

        there is no rocket science to make it using aluminium section in this product… they simply gouging on it and that is why they are now selling at roughly 50% discount but i am sure they are making huge margin on that as well so think those who bought this at full price ? probably they are the people who nagging on my comment… !

        i bought one from kogan (from ebay store) $136 4.7m height …. obviously didn't wait for shopback offer else it would be much cheaper as well.. !

        obviously since master collapsed (thanks to Woolworths) … bunnings started their usual ripping off aussie as there is no competition at their level.. !

        • [Deactivated] on 21/02/2023 - 10:29

          so what, make your own? do without?

        • freesteakknives on 21/02/2023 - 10:44

          @SydBoy Had a look. I can't see a Kogan one that goes to 7+ metres. Can you share link please. Also needs to have the roll-lock. At longer lengths the telescopic ones are not sturdy enough

          • SydBoy on 21/02/2023 - 14:39

            @freesteakknives: I bought the one below which is not telescopic as I can't trust my 100kg weight on them.

            I have not used mine yet but it looks good and better than telescopic.

            Only time will tell how long mine last and how durable it is but it hopefully be ok for my home DIY stuff

    I needed a 6.5m ladder recently. Sydboy is right, their price has increased significantly recently. I ended up buying a good S/H one for $100.

    This ladder is $45.92pm. This deal was better $ per metre at $35.23pm.

    Is this how we equate value to ladders? 😂

    Else one could say that extra 1.1m of reach (7.6m-6.5m) cost $120.

    • kaboomxyu on 21/02/2023 - 19:21

      I'm a tradie and used these types of folding ladders on occassion when the home owner has one laying around. They're awful especially when they've been laying around outside and springs have rusted up. The one you linked is 7.7m and the is NO WAY i'd be getting up one of those. I've got the Gorilla Mighty 19 - 5.8m and at full reach there's a bit of play and they're built much better than the ebay / informercial ones.

  • wcpria on 22/02/2023 - 12:02

    It is either a mistake from Bunnings or a strategy to get you to the store and sell you something else. They do not have this ladder in their range anymore and cannot sell it.

    • Scrooge McDeal on 22/02/2023 - 12:06
