How tall is this (the 13ft) ladder in the a frame position, how many feet would I be off of the ground while standing on ladder in a frame position?

Not sure what you mean by the "frame" position. I'm assuming you mean what is commonly called the step ladder configuration with four feet on the ground. Fully extended each step about 12" So fully extended in the step ladder configuration, the top step is at five feet. Since you aren't supposed to stand on the top step on any ladder the top working step is at 48"

It must be about 13 lbs. I don't recall the shipping weight, but my guess is that they got the numbers reversed. BTW, I love this ladder. It has a convenient handle to carry it, so the weight is not an issue for me. It's quite stable and the steps are big enough for both my feet. Easy set up and down for storage. It is slim and doesn't take up much space to store. Well worth the cost.

34 inches from floor to the "stand upon" platform. An additional 17.5 inches from that platform to the top of the ladder..

It is 17' tall in fully extended mode. In "A" frame mode its 8' 6". In normal residential houses you should not have any issues. There are other cheaper models but I was and still is very convinced that this is the best and most versatile ladder on the market.

the ladder is 4 foot 8 inches tall. About 15 inches wide. about 20 at the bottom. And about 5 inches thick. Very well built. I would buy another one, without thinking about it.

The exact measured height to the top level from the ground, is 34 inches. This is an exceptional ladder, strong but unbelievably light weight.

the actual height is about 19 and a half feet as an extension ladder. Its good but very hard to use at full extension.

It's the overall length of the ladder when it's fully extended. So you'll be able to stand on probably the third highest rung which will give you about a 22 foot height. Each of the 2 sections is telescoping, then it unfolds. But be aware that this ladder has to be over 50 lbs. which will make it tremendously hard to handle. The one I have is just as heavy and my neighbor and I together could not maneuver it into position to reach his roof gutters. We gave up! It's just too cumbersome when it's unfolded. But in the fully extended A frame position, it's easier to manage. That will make it about I guess is 12.5 ft high total. At that height, a 6 ft. man reaching up should be able to change those pesky light bulbs on a 17 ft. vaulted ceiling. Good Luck!

I am 5 foot 10 and I wish I would have gone with a smaller ladder for my 12 foot ceilings, I just changed a light bulb today using it and stood on the rung below the platform. So I think for someone 5 foot and change with 13 ft ceilings you should be right on target. I hope this helps, Russell

I just went from the outside of the frame. It wasn't exact about a foot off the one I orders but it fits perfect. Figure if it's 12 ft then a 13 will work.

I'm sorry, I really can't answer that one. I have the 21 foot ladder. In the A position, each side would be about 11 feet. With the spread required, I would GUESS that the top of the ladder would be between 9.5 and 10 ft from the ground. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. See Robert Wheeler's answer. Much better than my own. I probably go one rung higher than the 6' 7 1/4" that Robert quotes, so I would say that the max working height for me is closer to 8 ft. Thanks Robert!BTW: This is a great ladder. It's pretty heavy though. Quite a bit heavier than an equivalent 10ft step ladder, or even a 20 ft extension ladder. However, it's pretty amazing the number of different situations that you can use the ladder in. I'm sorry, I really can't answer that one. I have the 21 foot ladder.

Your ladder should be at least two feet taller than the garage when set up.12.5 will be two short.but it is a nice ladder.

Frame itself is about 1 1/2 - 2 ft off the floor + the height of your air mattress. I LOVE it. It is just a p.i.t.a to get back in the bag.

It is approximately 7 feet from the ground to the platform when fully extended. I am 5'10" tall and can easily reach something 13' off the ground. This is a great ladder and I highly recommend.

It's 85"-85.5".. I didn't have a ladder to get exact. So I came up with 7'1" & gave an extra 1/2".

Well the ladder is 8' closed. So in the open position, it is probably 7'10". The rule of thumb is this: If you have an 8' tall celling, get a 6' ladder. If you have 10' celling's, get an 8' ladder and so forth. That may be a better rule of thumb. Enjoy, -Ken

When the ladder is in the open position the top of the ladder is at 5 feet on the lowest setting and 8 feet on the highest setting. You can not stand on the top orange step. Great little ladder.
