How does this ladder perform for painting? I can't find anything regarding how someone holds paint for use with this

Hello, I've not used for painting but why not, I think it would work fine. It's sturdy and stable. Even though there's no place to put the paint down but you can easily stand/lean on the ladder and use both hands for painting. Hope this helps! It's a very well built ladder.

As you can just make out on the picture the top (fourth step) is actually a platform which is roughly 12 inches x 12 inches. The third step is just under 3ft from the ground. So you can stand on the third step with your paint on the fourth platform and still paint a 9ft ceiling if you are over 5ft tall. Hope this helps!

This ladder cannot stand on it's own...the only stabilization is the rubber ends on the legs. We have used this ladder off/on for over a year now and tho it seems somewhat flimsy when extended, it has done an ok job for us...my husband is 185 and holds him. We like the compactness of it when not fully extended and ease of carrying.

You would probably still need a ladder. It might work, but would be awkward. I wouldn't recommend it.

Does anyone have any experience using this ladder with an easy set pool? I feel this is much safer than the one that comes with it.

It comes with "Mounts" that go on a ladder. If you always use the leveler on one side you could mount a "mount" to two ladders and move the foot from one ladder to the other. I wish they sold JUST the leveler (or mounts) so I could outfit every ladder I own for the system. What I did in my case was bought two kits, so I have 4 mounts and 2 levelers...

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.

Sandy, the feet are a hard rubber/vinyl so it conforms to the surface that it is on. You can very secure about being on the ladder. I use it on a highly polished wooden floor and this adheres. I have even put it on a slightly slanted floor and it worked beautifully.

This could be a little iffy. You would have to get on the second rung from the top, so be sure you have someone in the room helping. The ladder itself, however, is very sturdy.

It needs a slant in my application, which is latched at the top with the bottom resting on the floor. For a vertical mounting of this or any other ladder, you must find a very secure method to mount it at both top and bottom. This one is good for 300 lbs.

Because we have had many painting projects recently I have those supplies around our home and was able to use a hook that could be used with any painting can or 5 gal. bucket and was able to attach it to the top of the ladder quite securely. It could be filled with items to move into or out of cupboards or shelves. Any hardware store has those hooks and buckets.

This will not work for paint. Paint requires a large amount of air. To do continuous painting you will probably need to go to a gas powered compressor and if it is a one time job I would consider renting one instead of buying a large compressor. Aside from the extra money a large compressor takes more room to store and is louder when it runs this small compressor is great for finish work and small projects stores easily and is easy to lift and move around.

I think the problem would be that the ladder is not really secured only the hooks are holding over the gunwale. I think the ladder can support the weight, it's a question of it being stable at the weight. Hope that helps a little

I asked my husband to test the grabber on both types of rolls. He had no problem picking up either one. He recently used it to clean out the gutters which were full of whirlybird seeds and seedlings at my dad's house. No ladder! Then used the grabber to lift the hose to flush any residue. We keep coming up with new ways to use it and it maintains its strength. We always analyze weight before using which helps the durability.

I have not tried this. I think I would have someone else get on a ladder and do this for you by hand. Love the Grabber the BEST for anything!!

I used a bungee cord (rubber) on each side to stabilize the ladder. The ladder was basically placed in between two vertical pool posts. I wrapped the bungee cord around the vertical pool frame post (top) and then hooked the two ends of the bungee cord to the stabilizer bar. Did the same thing on the other side so they sort of end up pulling against each other and stabilized the ladder. Worked really well. Hope this helps!

Per Kevin at Stromberg Carlson the small hook extrusion that comes with the ladder will attach with a mounting plate to the fascia board to make it a stable non moveable ladder. The large hooks that come with the ladder allow you to clip it over the edge of the bunk without drilling into the fascia board. Hope that answers your question but let us know if you need additional information.Thank you

That is correct, you need to put the foot in the mount in the up position and locate the position for the mount. That way you can have it so you can leave the foot on one or the other side when using it on level ground. Sometime one of the ladder rungs decides where you will put it.
