There are a number of reasons why somebody might need a ladder over Christmas time. If you're considering making a purchase either for yourself or for that special someone, then know that you'll be making a wise investment and here's why. The ladder has always been part of Christmas. It's what makes it possible to put the angel on the top of the tree. It's also something that is required to go up in the loft to retrieve the decorations, not to mention hanging up those decorations in your home alongside the fresh mistletoe. What is the best ladder for Christmas decoration hanging? We always tell our customers that it's essential to use the right ladder for job. Using a ladder that is too large to reach the top of the Christmas tree is just not going to work. Which ladder to use – our suggestions! Our ladder team get swamped with customer calls at this time of year. People want to ensure that they select the best ladder to suit what needs to be done. In a nutshell here's what we suggest: Our recommended ladder for decorating your Christmas tree =  the most popular height of a Christmas tree is around 6 foot tall. For this we recommend our 2 tread folding steel step stool. It's not too high, and is very stable for those who aren't keen heights or on hopping up and down ladders.  The 2 tread is more of a stool than a ladder, but it will give you that extra boost to reach another 2 feet or so higher. When it comes to putting up your outside Christmas decorations you might want to go with one of our multipurpose ladder choices such as the 4 tread 'summit' professional step or the little giant select step. Going up into the loft for the Christmas decorations is best suited to the loft ladders. They are built to not use a whole lot of room, and will fit into the loft without disturbing any of your boxes. They also make it easy to go up and down whilst carrying boxes without too much struggle. Whichever ladder you choose to attend to your Christmas decoration hanging with this year, we hope you have a very merry Christmas and we wish you a Happy New Year from all of us at Midland Ladders.
