I like telescoping ladders because they fit in a small space in my van.
But, I didn't think to look at the step distances on this ladder, it's 15 in between rungs and not 12. You have to get use to the extra 3 in step when going up or down.
Came in OK. I have not used it yet. Heavier than I thought it would be, so should be strong. will be more portable and fits in back of pickup so not hanging out the tailgate ...................................
I bought this ladder for my boyfriend as a Christmas gift. He loved it. We are renters and it is extremely renter friendly. It is very compact, easy to open up and close as well as light enough to move with ease. I was very impressed with the thickness/sturdiness of the material. The frame of the ladder is actually very thick and would be very difficult to damage. I highly recommend this product
Worked very good and rated for over 400lbs,it's great and very portable I would recommend it . You can make as short or tall as needed. It will reach roof of house easy.
