Don't live in high rise buildings. Avoiding the problem is much easier than getting into the problem and trying to prepare for things like this.

I live in the 3rd floor of an apartment building and I'm getting a 3 story emergency escape ladder.

Telescopic ladder. Dope af.

[One Push Closed] Aluminum Telescoping Ladder 8.5 ft, Max Reach 12 ft, 330 lb Max Capacity, Soft-Close System, Pinch-Free Locking for Industrial Household Daily or Emergency Use https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C5Q5H8Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_N-OEDbFK3976Z

Just to be clear, it's as simple as throwing a rope over the top and then pulling up a rope ladder with that rope. Anybody can throw the end of a rope 20' in the air, ANYbody. And then you pull up something like this:

And you let another one down the other side. And even a 220lb person can make it over. F'ing easy.

edit: which is to say, you're spot on

I am a painter and I can tell you that this will support his weight but this is very dangerous. If he leans too much to the left or right the ladder will flip because he is at a very extreme angle. Also like many people mentioned you have nothing to grab onto....this will get your heart rate going if the ladder shifts even a little. Rule of thumb with ladders is you never want to be more than an arms length away from the wall( this applies to 16ft and under). This is a rule of thumb and is not meant to be an exact measurement to base every set up on.....Always take a step back and look at the angle of the ladder. You need more space the higher up you go, again you should always take a step back and look at the angle. You want this / essentially. I currently have a ladder set up like this on a roof supported by a toe board....very dangerous but I need the money. Sorry no picture but I might take one if this comment does not get buried.

edit I looked at the picture again and I would set up an extension ladder on the stairs below.

$150 may disuade someone from purchasing the ladder, 50' of rope is better than nothing

u/alias_enki · 6 pointsr/OSHA

I think this is the one or very close to what I was using on my ladder. The legs slide up and down with some sort of gear mechanism that locked once you put enough weight on it. There was no fuss, just set the ladder in place, lift a bit to make sure things are set and go. I miss them, even if they added weight to the ladder. I can throw a 28' fiberglass ladder around all day.

u/mrrp · 4 pointsr/HomeImprovement

Can you use standoffs to get you the clearance you need without overdoing the angle?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00064COJA/ref=psdc_553472_t3_B018A2ZZ1S

Yes, they lose strength at lower angles. Whether it's safe depends on the ladder's rating, your weight, and how much you bounce. :) If you're 150lbs and using a IAA ladder you're fine. If you're 220lbs using a type III, you might be going for a ride.

u/Engineer_Bob · 4 pointsr/news

These people are heroes. I do want to get another message out there though. If you currently live in a multiple story apartment, house... there are heavy duty fire ladders that you can purchase to safely get out of your house/apartment. They're not all that expensive.

Example: https://www.amazon.com/First-Alert-EL53W-2-Three-Story-Portable/dp/B000OZ3Y2C/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1542941987&sr=8-4&keywords=fire+ladder+3+story

There's many different ones you can buy on Amazon and other sites that cater to First Aid/Fire Safety. Prices vary but it could save your life. And if you move around here and there, you just bring it with you.

Love and Humanity win in the end, again.

u/Beef_Unit · 3 pointsr/treehouse

That looks like the front of your house. I’d make sure you don’t create an attractive nuisance or something that would attract kids to climb up and potentially hurt themselves.

If that’s not an issue some ideas:

Cranford EZY Climb Folding Rope Step 4 Pack

A rope ladder

Construct something from wood. Look on Pinterest for ideas.

There are a lot of products that hunters use to get into deer stands. There are also mountable platforms. Look up “deer stands” on amazon.

This design is up to 30 feet tall, according to Trump.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-visit-border-wall-san-diego-ca/

> The wall is 30 feet high.  We also have 18-foot wall.  We have a combination of 30 feet and 18 [feet], depending on the area, depending on the — on the importance.

There are definitely ladders long enough for that.
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Werner-28-ft-Fiberglass-Extension-Ladder-with-300-lbs-Load-Capacity-Type-IA-Duty-Rating-D6228-2/100659879

Rope ladders can be longer.

Models with hooks instead of loops at the top can be easily tossed over the barricade. https://www.amazon.com/Emergency-Escape-Ladder-25-3-Story/dp/B005YSY0AY


But yes, I know you're not arguing that the wall can just be built higher since you share the opinion that it's a foolish pursuit. Just highlighting exactly how ridiculous.

Little Giant 22-foot ladder - listed weight: 55lbs.

u/bagomangopulp · 2 pointsr/HomeImprovement

The stripes themselves are going to be fairly easy to paint. Get some flat white ceiling paint, a thick napped roller (1/2" or 5/8"), and a long extension handle. Just make sure you cover everything really well, because a thicker napped roller will throw paint.

The stepped ceiling is going to be a little more challenging, because you will never be able to roll those painted corners. For that, you should really just consider getting a ladder and brushing it. I highly recommend the Little Giant style folding ladder. Doesn't take up much space, but it's incredibly useful.

Telescopic Step Ladder; I have thought of these, but I would like to see one up-close first.

u/ipsquibibble · 1 pointr/organization

Does the ladder lead up to a hole on the ceiling that accesses your loft? I wonder if [this] (Louisville Ladder 22.5-by-54-Inch Wooden Attic Ladder, Fits 8-Foot 9-Inch to 10-Foot Ceiling Height, 250-Pound Capacity, L224P https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000KKNRIC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_l8L7BbVSNQHX7) would work, I don't think you'd need a contractor to install it and it swings up out of the way when not in use.

u/mrBill12 · 1 pointr/DIY

I don’t think I’ve ever seen s version where a pole is used, always a pull rope. Is this the type of hatch you mean? Note this model has a pull down cord (last picture and first video).

u/entrepreneuranon · 1 pointr/HVAC

Little Giant Ladders 10121 SkyScraper 300-Pound Duty Rating Adjustable Stepladder, 21-Foot https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0009H5J82/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_5QgyCb3S55ZS7

We’re picking this one up soon. 21’ allows us to access most of what we need, and the 300 lb. rating makes it safe. As far as I know, this is the tallest A-frame ladder on the market with this rating that doesn’t have the telescoping center, which we just will not send our guys up on.

I’ve always been told not to get the fiberglass ones, because over time the integrity of the ladder is compromised as it starts to splinter, exposure to sunlight, etc.

EDIT: because that A-frame is heavyyyy and pretty much needs two people to set up, I’d also recommend this:

Little Giant 22-Foot Velocity Multi-Use Ladder, 300-Pound Duty Rating, 15422-001 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E1AQE46/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_rVgyCbT17XAX9

It also comes in a 26 ft version, can stabilize on multiple surfaces, and has wheels to roll it!

u/thre36iksty · 1 pointr/MotorcycleLogistics

Yes. The ladder I use though is a telescoping ladder. All the inspectors in my area use these types of ladders
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FVP5Q4S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_i.ATDbF8TDAPX
.
It's easy to fit in my car since I don't need a ladder rack. Even though I haven't tried bringing it on my motorcycle, I feel it's small enough that I could easily pull it off.

I would imagine if he had much painting experience, he would have switched to one of these. Hell, even if he was a GC, he should have one.
