I have a two story house. It measures 20' from the eaves to the ground. However, the section at our MBR has the exterior wall rising up another 5'. For that reason, I'm shopping for a 32' extension ladder. All utility wires come in underground so I am leaning towards aluminum because of cost. I rented a 28' Al one before and it was crazy heavy. Are the Al ones lighter than the fiberglass? I think I read that they are.
I have also seen 3 section ladders that store more compactly, which is a bonus for me, but they've got be to even heavier, right?
Lastly, would you ever buy a used ladder of Craigslist? Even if an Al ladder was stored outside, I'd think as long as it worked and maybe the spring at the rung holder wasn't rusted, I'd be good to go. I'm not sure about fiberglass. Sounds like it starts to splinter when exposed outside too long.
