Cheaper platform?

Bill D · 08-01-04, 02:08

I could really use a nice platform to stand on to detail my roof in better comfort. Griot's has the right idea but are there any other cheaper alternatives that are similar in size? I'd rather not get a plastic Rubbermaid step stool .

I got that same platform from Costco back in April for $20. It's great too. It's very portable and light. It's also just the right height. I have been looking to get a second one but they don't seem to be carrying them anymore.

Ok, thanks,

I'll be on the hunt in the wholesale clubs

The gorilla is $35 and the one at costco is $25. Both have a max weight of 220lbs I think. I got the one from costco and I am pushing 215 lbs. I love it.

I regularly have over 250 pounds on mine with no problems even though it's only rated at 225. Just an FYI.

The step stool sold by Griots is made by a german company. Here is a link to the companies website. http://www.leifheit.de/2003/produktd...=2&maingroup=6

This has several of the ladders that griots sells.
