Ladder Safety
The more friction you have, the harder it is to get moving. That's
the idea behind the Ladder Stopper, designed to increase ground
surface contact to nearly
200 square inches. The Tshaped
aluminum pad is
bonded to a rubber base
with an aggressive tread,
which the manufacturer
claims grips equally well
on wood, concrete, or wet
grass. Drop the stopper
on the ground, place the
ladder on it, and up you
go — the heavier the climber, the harder it grips. Two sizes are
available: The 24-inch-wide version costs $90, and the 36-inchwide
base goes for $160.
