Platform Ladder

[WoodlandsCamper]

I have just used (for the first time) a platform ladder for washing the roof of my caravan. I can highly recommend one. Mine came from Screwfix, but I have seen them advertised by other companies. When I bough mine a couple of months ago it didn't come with the metal platforms so I had to use a plank of wood. It still did the job, and next use will be the overgrown hedge!!! So much for getting away at Easter.

PS The ladder didn't wash the roof on its own, I had to provide the elbow grease.

Hi Woodlands

I got a similar one from B&Q in March for the very same thing. Not used it yet but if the weather holds this weekend I'll be out their with the sponge and bucket.

Interestingly I got mine in the B&Q sale for

I can't believe the metal platforms weren't included - our metal ones are skiddy enough, imagine wood when wet from washing the roof is like an ice rink!

I use a pair of steps carefully leaned on the awning rail and one of those long hose brushes. Am I missing something here? I can see how one of those platform things might help with my hedges, but I can't see any advantage with the van roof??

The wood is sawn only, not planed, and therefore grips quite well. They originally came with the tower scaffolding I have.
