Hi. I am 6'1" and weigh up to 210. I have used it several times on shingled roofs and it seems very sturdy.

Because you are up on two stories I would buy both for safety reasons depending on age of your husband and swiftness better to be safe than sorry

Each bracket is rated for 250 pounds they come in a pair of two so that's 500 pounds total

it would be o.k. I am over 200lbs and have used it many times- the wing nut must be replaced by a real nut as it is weak and will snap- I have had to use some duct tape to help keep it from wiggling a bit but it has never slipped or come loose while I was working on it

There should be a chart, count how many top rails you have... Then look on the chart to see how many sections you'll need... It will leave an opening for your ladder... Easy install... Did my 18 foot in about 3.5 hrs by myself.. Hope this helps.. I left out one section on purpose as it does not swing open... All sections are fixed...

I agree with Carol, and the trampoline also states for safety, only one child at a time..not going to happen on any trampoline! But this thing is sturdy and well built, we've had 6 that were 11 year + at one time with no troubles. And ladder, yes, recommend it.

Should be ok to use while on a ladder. It is very lightweight and can be used with one hand.

The ladder is well made, but of fairly light material. I'm a good sized guy at 250 and it holds up well but I'm not sure you would want to put a lot of traffic on it. Good luck.

I think not. You should lower the ladder, not just throw it out the window. If you have questions, contact X-It. Contact info is on their website.

I would be hesitant to put a ladder on them. It may not even fit. While they are fairly strong they are geared towards poles, towels etc.

prety easy for me, but if you follow the instructions, should have no problem. Just don't fall off ladder and make sure power is off..

Can't answer that question directly, it really depends on your needs, head room in the attic, landing area for the foot of the ladder, how often the attic is accessed. The Werner website can help you. Make sure you buy a 250# ladder.

it is a flat metal bar. bare feet will be fine (completely flat surface). the bars are 12in long and 1.5in deep. my husband and i have both climbed down the ladder with no problems.

Thank you. I am a single woman with a large property to maintain and am afraid of heights so anything that would help me avoid a ladder would be good. I will keep looking for something more lightweight.

please! if you have small children or big ones do not use this type of ladder, it is not stable enough, this is made for above ground pools not swing slides, there is no way to anchor this. if you do!! And somebody gets hurt or seriously injured then you will have to live with this, do you think it's worth the risk? check with the company who make swing sets and they can steer you in the right direction, besides the weight limit on this ladder is approximately 300 lbs if I were you I would not risk it.

Aluminium is much lighter. I have never seen a wooden attic ladder rated for 350lbs so presumably aluminium is also much stronger in this application at least.

Four could be enough, but I installed 2-120 watt panels using 3 sets of Z brackets or 6 brackets per panel for extra security. Depends on how flat your roof is to accomodate 6 brackets, but you should use at least 4. At 65 mph that is a fair breeze blowing over the roof.

I have used two of these on a metal "A" frame roof with no problem. As I was 30 feet in the air, I did tie a rope (600#) capacity to the end of the ladder and secured it to a heavy object on the other side of the "A" Frame. Also used a safety Belt.

Yes. Just try to avoid the horizontal ridges. If you stay close to the center of each "lap" you should be fine. The standoff works better on vinyl (and any other type of siding) than a standard ladder in protecting the siding surface.

I would think it might not be safe. The leg of the ladder could twist or bend?
