Have you got your DIY to-do list ready for the new year? Whether it’s a spot of painting and decorating or you need to clean the gutters after the wild autumn/winter weather, we’ve got the perfect ladders. Here are the best ladders for every DIY job.
Small Folding DIY Steps
These steps are standalone, made from steel or aluminium, and they fold out and make an A-frame. They usually come in 2 or 3-rung versions and are perfect for jobs like changing lightbulbs or taking down the Christmas decorations.
Small folding steps like our folding household handy step ladder will help you make light work of those quick jobs around the house.
Step Ladders
When you need a bit more height, a stepladder is a versatile choice and it’s one of the best ladders for every DIY job. It’s A-frames lock when opened up and fold together neatly for easy storage. This ladder is a perfect choice for that new year painting job you’ve been meaning to do.
Our double decker stepladders have a tool holder, bucket hook, and screw tray to make the job a whole lot easier.
DIY Extension Ladders
You’ve been avoiding the gutters for long enough and now it’s time to bite the bullet and clean them. Yes it’s a messy job, and if you don’t have the right ladders, it can be a dangerous one. However, invest in an extension ladder and you can make the job safer and easier.
Extension ladders come in different variations and either have two or three ladders nested together. The ladder can be extended for extra reach as needed. Most of these ladders can reach over 10 metres. As you must stand these ladders against the wall, remember the golden rule. For every 4ft of height, angle the ladder 1 metre away from the wall for stability.
Our pro-trade extension ladder is the lightweight yet stable choice when you need to work at height safely.
Combination ladders
Need to do a job where you’re working at different levels? Say the dreaded wallpapering a staircase, for example. The combination ladder is an all-rounder and one of the best ladders for every DIY job. These ladders combine different types of ladder, such as extension ladders and stepladders, for the ultimate in versatility. If you’re working on a staircase, all you need to do is adjust the base of each section to the desired height. We love the multi-form Little Giant Revolutionary Ladder for working on stairs or uneven surfaces.
