Corner Ladders
Corner Stabilizer
You probably won't need a corner ladder very often while painting a house, but if the circumstances arise that you need to set a ladder directly against the vertex of a corner of a building, an ordinary ladder just isn't really the proper tool for the job. In a case like this you need a corner ladder
A corner ladder is a ladder with extension arms at the top of the ladder that extended outward and forward so that the end caps of the two arms rest against the two sides of the building that form the corner.
Corner Stabilizers
Corner ladders may be designed and sold as corner ladders,
however most corner ladders are actually standard ladders with a device
called a corner stabilizer installed on to them.
Corner Stabilizers are usually made of aluminum with rubber or plastic
end caps. They are generally inexpensive easy to install and remove, and
often no tools are required to use them.
Corner Stabilizers are sold separately and can be mounted to most
extension or single section ladders. However some specialty ladders and
step ladders may not be suitable.
These corner stabilizers may be available at some hardware and paint
stores, but where there is not all that much call for these things they
are usually harder to find than most climbing equipment. If you need a
corner stabilizer and can not seem to locate one try a store that
specializes in ladder and staging equipment... or you can order one from
an internet store.
