Question 1

Will this help my amigos to climb over the wall?? Is it too heavy and cumbersome to carry through the desert to an isolated location? Ask for a friend

Accepted Answer

First Question : Absolutely!  But with discretion and only as a last resort.
Second Question: This ladder balances surprisingly well on either shoulder if I'm by myself (and I'm old) but can be easily carried by two or more persons with the Willingness and Heart to find what this GREAT Country has for all of us, not just for those who've had everything handed to them on a silver platter!  My parents came to this country from Europe after the horrors of WWII.  Their hard work and refusal to give up on their Dreams, even with their last dying breaths, has positively impacted more lives than they would have ever thought possible.   
Give me a call and I'll gladly lend a hand with it if any Haters turn your kids away at the gate.

Question 2

how much does the ladder weigh?

Accepted Answer

I have not put it on a scale. It is heavy. I am 5'10 and can move it when it is extended.

Question 3

Is this positioned on the gutter when cleaning the gutter? Are there any safety measures or features to prevent falling over left or right?

Accepted Answer

The only way to prevent it from falling over left or right is to keep all your body within the ladder. You can extend an arm out, maybe 3 feet away. If you start pulling to hold yourself with your other arm, you start to pull the ladder to that side and only then you run the risk of starting to slide to that side. You can use standoff bars, etc, but I would not trust these. Also to make sure the ladder is well balanced, first set it to the proper inclination as indicated on the ladder.. in general, as the tip of your feet are just under the first rung, extend your arms and your fingers should rest on the rung at the shoulder level. Then to balance it step on the first rung, grab the sides and swing back just enough to lift the top off the wall/gutter it rests on. The ladder should remain vertical. If it sways one side of the other, you need to reposition it or prop one of the feet. I hope these partial tips help, and there is more to know to operate a ladder safely, be careful!

Question 4

What does it weigh?

Accepted Answer

Hi Linda, The ladder is my husband's so I asked him and he said he isn't sure since he never weighed it but his guess is approximately 60 lbs., give or take. Hope that helps! Have a great day! :)
