Can I use this on the bottom of the ladder to provide a wide base of support simultaneously w/ using the two natural feet of the LG ladder? Thanks.

Its only made to be used at the top. It clamps on to the rungs. I've used it several times and it works really well the way its intended to. Its not made to point down. What you see in the picture is the only way it can be used.

No this would not work, you can only use at the top. If you are in a situation where the ladder is not on firm ground, you would need something much different to stabilize the bottom of the ladder - large sheet of plywood - something like that.

No, the ladder fits on the side of the pool so the extension on the top would be to wide to hold the ladder in place. But, if you have a wood deck around your pool you could drill holes for the legs and use some kind of support under the deck, otherwise no.

I had to. Have a family member who is a big guy. The ladder did not bend with him on it but the wood screws did pull out of the pier. I then anchored through pier and put a brace on the bottom. Works fine.

You can, but it doesn't seem very stable. I think it is designed for the horizontal position.

I don't think that would work, but can't say I've ever tried it. It has a base on the bottom and is obviously meant to stand upright.

It definitely adds weight to it, particularly if the ladder is a long one. To get the proper leverage to lift it requires some strength and I would not recommend it to anyone who does not have upper body strength.

I am not sure if you can use it with extension ladder. I always use it with one piece of extension ladder because I doubt it would work with both pieces. Even if you could secure the ladder from coming apart, one section would be up a few inches higher and not resting on the roof as intended. I'd say only use it with a single section of ladder.

Nein, The way this ladder is constructed, I don't think another shelf would work. Built into the top handle is a space for nails, tools etc.. The handle is above the top step and supposed to support legs, another shelf would defeit that purpose.

I would say no. The stand is light for a ladder stand but it is quite tall. You would be able to get it set up by yourself...with some effort. Possible? Yes, but I wouldn't consider it an easy transport.

There's nothing that lends itself to easily attaching a wider tray to the top. The small tray that is on the ladder is designed mostly to hold screws, nails, etc...small "stuff." If you're creative you could probably design something to meet your needs, but my concern would be that unless it was attached VERY securing it would fall off or break with any moderate weight.

Yes. The upper support bar of the ladder then becomes somewhat knee high (at least for me a woman 5'5") - but I find that feeling that bar against my legs helps me feel more secure until I proceed down a step and can hold the support bar again. This is why I like the ladder so much better than a regular style 2 or 3 or 4 step "step ladder." Just love this ladder!

P.S. - I use this ladder "loosely" in my storage building by leaning it against shelving (not attached or hooked on) and while I don't recommend doing this, the ladder had always supported me well when standing in the center of the rungs (5'5" - 120 lbs.). It's extremely durable and well made.

I tend to think this may not work. The ladders are filled with water to stabilize them, so if one were to "cut" the ladder, it wouldn't be strong on the 36" side.

It is not designed for that. There is a brace under the ladder portion that I think may not be good for the liner. My husband is 400 lbs and I am close to 300 lbs and we have been using this ladder system for a couple of weeks now. It works great. A "little" wobbly when nearing the top but we have adjusted and it's awesome.

Just under 4 ft maximum. Theoretically you could angle the vertical legs and make that lower, but I would guess the safe max weight on the ladder will be lower.

With the proper tools (you'd need a torch) it could be done....but because of how it would need to be cut it would be VERY DIFFICULT to get the legs even (read *impossible*).....then you have to take the following into consideration: the ladder would also have to be shortened, placing the bottom rung either on the floor or completely missing. The legs themselves would then be open-ended so you would have to find some way to protect your floor from them. You would no longer have enough clearance under the bed to place a desk or chair (for anyone over 5'2" or so)

I'm not sure if there is or not. We just found a big enough tree that we felt comfortable with. We did not put the bottom ladder on so it isn't as high as it will go. Which we always use extra straps to secure it to the tree too. Just for extra safety. My son and husband love these stands, we have two of them now. My son is 6'5" so needs the extra room on the platform for his big feet. lol
