      Hello. I am looking for a ladder to clean the gutters of my one-story home. I estimate an 18-foot vertical drop from the gutter to the ground. Which ladder do you recommend to safely reach my gutters? Thanks. --Linus

            20' extension ladder is two sections a base and a fly section that are both 10' long. The maximum extended length of a 20' extension ladder is 17' because you have to have a 3' overlap of the base and fly section on extension ladders.

                are both sections of ladder, top ten and bottom ten foot? (with how much over lap)?Because I need a min. of 18' that's with the three foot above the roof, safety requirement. do you carry a wall and or roof support brace to help keep this ladder from leaning on the gutter system?

                Answer This Question

                20' extension ladder, each section is 10' long. Also on a 20' extension ladder the maximum extended length is 17' and the maximum reach is 19'-10" (assuming the person is 5'-7" tall). You might want to bump up to the 24' extension ladder. We offer ladder stabilizers that attach to the ladder and will hold the ladder off of the building so you don't hit the gutters.

                    Good ladder. Relatively light weight and worked well to clean the gutters on a 1 story building. Overall I gave it 4 stars because I dont like the plastic catches.

                    The ladder is a lot heavier then I expected and the rung locks are entirely plastic. Concerned that those will wear out and fail. Will return and go with a ladder that comes with aluminum rung locks.

                      It was not design like the old one therefore the center of gravity was off making it hard to move. I total do not like it.

                      I've had this 32' Louisville Type 1 ladder for about 15 years. I use it primarily to hang hurricane shutters in South Florida. I store it in my garage. It has been a great ladder and still functions well. I am a heavy guy and consistently climb with about 30-40 pounds above the rated amount and it holds me fine. This is not an endorsement or recommendation to exceed the listed load limit. I'm simply telling you what I do. It's been a solid ladder. The only downside is the weight. It weighs 60 pounds, but feels like a 100 with the awkwardness of this ladder's height. You must be very strong to move this ladder on your own. I suggest you always have someone help you move it.

                        Seems fine after one day of use. Of course, the real test will be how well it's held up after, say, 10 years.
