Ladders suitable for gardening

With summer really starting, it's the perfect time to garden. However, working in your garden can be more adventurous and less enjoyable without the right tools, like the best ladders. That's why we wanted to take a look at the best types of gardening ladders and provide you with some useful options for choosing an outdoor ladder so you can safely complete your outdoor garden work and have more fun with it too.

Tripod Ladders

Tripod ladders are ideal when it comes to larger, more difficult garden tasks, such as hedge trimming and tree pruning. This is because the front legs can be positioned exactly to the hedge itself or at an angle to it, providing you with the best and safest way to cut where you need to. Tripod ladders also provide impressive stability when working at height, which will reduce your risk of losing your balance and having an accident.

Another major advantage of tripod ladders over traditional gardening ladders is their lightweight aluminum construction. This makes carrying and repositioning in the garden faster and easier, without any stress, regardless of your age or mobility. The three legs are designed for soft surfaces with spiked feet to ensure the ladder is fully seated.

Ladders

Tripod ladders are the best choice for gardening, but usually many people choose live ladders. Ladders should be used for access rather than long hours of work. Therefore, if you plan to spend longer on tasks such as trimming hedges, then a tripod ladder would be a better choice for you. If you want to use a ladder, you should make sure you maintain complete health and safety, including checking for slip hazards and not overextending yourself outside the ladder.

When using any type of ladder outdoors, be sure to follow the instructions. Climbing ladders outdoors poses greater risks and is usually done at higher heights. Therefore, it is important to keep in mind many of the necessary safety measures and protections.
