Great 8' to 13' Telescoping Plank. I weigh in at about 250 lbs, on a thin day, so I was glad to find this plank with 440 lb rating. I immediately pulled it out to the full 13' and walked across the elevated center span with very little if any flex. My wife said she couldn't see any flex at all watching me. The plank feels rock solid and is plenty wide to feel safe. I agree with the fella who said that the side welds aren't pretty, but so what ... all they do is hold the stop blocks in place to keep you from completely separating the 2 sections when pulling it apart. They bear no structural load. The rivet work on mine is fine ... no extra holes. There were no Thumb Screws or Winged Screws included for screwing into the 2 threaded holes to hold the plank at the desired length. I picked up a couple of Wing Screws at Home Depot for less than $4 ... Thread Size: 5/16 - 18 x 1/2" that work fine. The plank feels lighter than I expected when carrying it around and setting it in place. I'm very pleased with the purchase: Heavy Duty Sturdy Plank, Well made, Easily placed, Great Price
