    When you gotta ladder up what style ladder is your main choice?

    If you generally prefer one style ladder over the other two what are the reasons for your preferances?

    I can't vote since I have never used a sectional. Maybe Dwight or Mike can bring theirs to the Westminster event and I can try them out.

    I have never used a sectional but between an extension and the little giant, I like the extension. It's lighter and extends a couple feet higher.

    Extension ladders for sure. Much easier to use in my opinion.

    Tony,
    I'm impressed. Alot of guys on the forums will knock the sectionals even though they have never tried them. I think all three have their advantages but I prefer the sectional as my go too ladder.

    I had to choose between extensions and LG types I'd go w/ the LG every time because of versatility.

    Don't worry, Tony. I'll bring a set you can play on.

    I voted sectionals, obviously. I kinda like the way Dwight put it, which is true. Sectionals were made for window cleaners.

    You know my answer Mike, sectional. And yes, I'm driving my truck to the Westminster event so we can bust them out them Tony.

    There is a little learning curve to stacking them safely especially when you go high. Mike has that art down.

    If I had more than five guys working for me I'd probably want them to use extension ladders too. There is a definite learning curve and you need more common sense to use them safely.

    I have to put LG style simply because of the reality of my home situation. (Low Underground Parking) No way I could put ladder racks and ladder and get into my Condo parking.

    I haven't tried sectionals but they would be the way to go if I had more room in my mini-van. Maybe when I get my next vehicle I'll go for a full size van and invest in some sectionals hopefully to get me up to 30'.

    For those that use sectionals, how high is your set up and what are the individual section sizes?
