How do I choose the right ladder for my needs?

Question

When selecting a ladder, consider the following factors:

1. Height Requirements: Determine the maximum height you need to reach and choose a ladder that can accommodate it.
2. Weight Capacity: Check the ladder’s weight rating to ensure it can safely support you and any materials you’ll be carrying.
3. Material: Ladders are typically made from aluminum (lightweight and portable) or fiberglass (sturdier and often more stable). Choose based on your needs.
4. Portability: If you need to move your ladder frequently, consider its weight and how easily it can be transported and stored.
