I've had Ankalads on my small ladders for years; they're excellent, each side being adjustable both vertically and horizontally. You just set the ladder and adjust each pair of telescopic legs.

Having used them so much I don't like the look of the tripod ladders, with just one extra leg. I'm sure I'm wrong to be wary of them but just how stable are they? Seems to me that as soon as you meet a side slope you need to block one of the ladder feet. That's true of an Ankalad setup too but you have two extra feet, spaced far wider that the ladder width, giving you four points of ground contact, not three.

the only problem with the anchor is it is not high enough you can only stand at the 8 foot section of the ladder (well thats how i read it) and reach to 14 feet, that is not high enough for the hedges ive to do.

 

still handy to have at £85 though:thumbup1:
