The Roof

[Tim120]

If you clean it what do you use to get up there.
I'm thinking of a telescopic ladder.

What do you use?

 

[Robmac]

Fork lift with a pallet on the forks. Puts me nicely positioned over the top of the van.

I have a ladder attached to the back of the Van so i climb up, the top is checker plated in places so very secure, I do spread my weight when up there, would a large step ladder not work?

 

[Tim120]

Brilliant idea. Where are you

That's the sort of thing I'm thinking of. Just wondered what solutions might also be available.
Maybe should also add will not need to walk on roof.

I think that your options are limited

I did carry a telescopic ladder for a while, but it still took up a fair bit of space and I hardly used it.
I can normally find a wall or something if I want to clean solar panels. Rest of the roof can wait.

I moved to a bungalow Nigel.

Don't even have to bother shutting the curtains now.

A green roof is a happy roof and it's environmentally friendly too

It's looking that way

Screwfix are sold out

 

[Tim120]

Telescopic ladder it is then.
Thanks for all input much appreciated.
Favourite solution forklift and pallet, now that would look good in the garage instead of a smartcar

Nothing shifts the crap on my roof. Ive tried all these magic spray and leave thingys, all sorts. Even the local dealer couldnt shift it. Its just a badge of Honour now. I just tell people I did the Paris Dakar Rally in it and its just the remnants of a plague of Locusts.

Buy a strong pair of braces tigh to the nearest tree take about 10 steps backwards that should get you up there.
