Can this be configured to an 8 foot A-frame? I'm specifically looking for a good 8 ft ladder and was told Little Giant is high quality...

Even though I have purchased three Little Giants you cannot make it more than a 7 foot A-Frame. I really like the Little Giant and recently purchased one for our son to go along with the two I already have for myself. I hope that answers your question.

Mine goes comfortably to 7ft., perhaps the bigger model will better suit your needs, the quality is there, I am very happy with the product...................

Hi MM,I have this ladder and love it. The step ladder height is 4' to 7'. If you need to go to 8' then you might want to look at the M-22. It's a taller version of this ladder. I bought mine to replace a very heavy 8' fiberglass step ladder and because it feels much more stable at the higher height, I'm very happy with it. This ladder is light, easy to move (it even has wheels) and is really sturdy.

Think you need the 22 footer. Mine is 17. Ladder is good but still can't get past the fact that the steps are so narrow. Downside for me.

As noted prior this ladder is 7 feet at the top hinge fully extended in the A-frame configuration. The highest working step (two from the top) is at about 5 feet. So a 6 foot person, working from this step, should be able to reach a 10 foot ceiling.

Depending on the ladder brand it will fit no problem or will require modification. Also, what you get usually does not look like the picture as they keep "improving" it. In other words, the more they improve it, the worse it gets. If you are poor at figuring things out, don't buy it. If you ain't, itsa good buy for sure

Hi Marsha, I just thought I would add that I purchased the 4 ft. ladder and can easily reach our 8 ft. ceiling from the top step. Hope I've been of some help to you. I was mostly impressed with the depth of each step. Makes me feel more secure when I need to climb. Good luck with your ladder purchase, Carol

Yes, but I wouldn't go any bigger. Futons need to lay down and sit up right. 8" is perfect for this giving good support, but not to thick that it could be difficult to adjust.

I have it on a flat frame that I built, and it's just fine. The only thingI'd do differently is to get a thicker version - 6". Hope that helps.

Little Giant now includes built-in wheels on their ladders, a nice change from their older models. Please understand that your questions here are answered by different customers, not by the company itself.

Not sure what your definition of "regular play set" is. If it is a wood frame, most likely. If it is metal, no. I bought the bracket to add to my self built swing set (two 2x6's on A-frames), but with one 8' 2x4 it gives you everything else to do it yourself. I could have gone either way, I was in a rush to get it on there for the kids for Easter, so I didn't take any chances and bought the bracket set (a little pricey, but high quality and quick to install). I like both the swing and the bracket set. You don't have to be too handy, just be able to drill a few holes and bolt it on. If you have a metal (or plastic if they make them) swing set, I don't think I would even attempt it. Not sure what your definition of "regular play set" is. If it is a wood frame, most likely.

you should have no problem with this ladder - it flods up below the line of your rails - i have had mine for a while and it is still very very slick and safe.

I bought the 12106 leg leveler and it`s from Little Giant. I`m not so sure if I would buy it again as it is a bear to set up when you move the ladder. I bought 2 thinking that would help but it didn`t. By rhe time I get it set up I`m worn out and to tired to climb the ladder. Maybe you would have better luck. I could not find the 10106 thru Amazon. Maybe you could contact Little Giant and see if that is there model number. Good Luck.

It has been designed to be used as an 8 ft unit......if you want something shorter then look at the 4 ft version.

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.

I decided against getting this ladder, because, as was stated, it is at most 12.5 feet high in the A frame configuration. I rented a 17' long A Frame ladder, which in the open position, was about 14-15 ft high, at the highest rung. But who wants to be on the highest rung at that height? We had to do electrical work in the ceiling along with cutting and repairing & then sanding down the repairs in the dry wall, requiring being closer to the ceiling than simply reaching light bulbs.

Buy the little giant, this ladder broke in the first few times I used it and now trying to get the manufacturer to replace with no luck so far.

If you mean two people on one platform, then no - not enough room and no way to balance like that. If you mean two platforms - one on each side of the ladder, then yes, it works great that way -- BUT BE AWARE that the ladder is only rated to hold a certain amount of weight per side. The Little Giant Xtreme is rated for 300 lbs., which means it will hold 300 lbs. safely on each side (it will actually hold much more, but less safely, and if it does break/fail they are only liable to help you if you didn't exceed the max. rated weight). This is good to know for any ladder. Some are only rated 200 lbs. And this platform does work on other ladders (Werner MT for example).

I have no idea. I only know of my experience with the Little Ladder Extreme company and it wasn't a good one. Before you purchase anything from them, make sure you get the answers to all your questions. They will find a reason not to return all of your money. The fight can be very costly.

my ladder is at a different location now so i can't measure it for you but i estimate the 21 foot ladder is about 4 feet wide at the base. the width at base is fixed and does not depend on how high you extend the ladder. it's a good question - i'm sure if you call little giant directly they will have the measurement.

The max height of this Little Giant 17 as a step ladder is 7-8 feet. It is 17 feet when fully extended as an extension ladder. The other thing to bear in mind is it is a heavy ladder. The wheels do help when working on flat surfaces (indoor or out) as you can wheel it around. However, these will not help you much on rough ground or when you need to lift it (e.g. up/down stairs, loading it into car, storing it etc). It's a unisex product, so no one will laugh at you !
