[QUOTE="maintenanceguy, post: 470186, member: 24227"] Even though I'm not crazy about the ladder idea, I don't think vertical supports will be needed. It looks like the span is under 4 feet. With 4 aluminum channels the depth of a ladder rail, I think it can span that distance. Especially with the ladder rungs attached to prevent the channels from rolling. I'd stand on it. Working in the trades, we've used extension ladder sections laid on their side for scaffold planks with a piece of plywood on top. OSHA wouldn't approve and I wouldn't do it at a height that would likely result in serious injury. If I needed to work only a couple of feet off the floor, an extension ladder laid on a couple of sawhorses works. Don't try this at home. [/QUOTE]
