Use the 4:1 rule for extension ladders. For every four feet up, place the ladder one foot from the wall or upper support it rests against. Place them on firm and even ground. Keep your work area clear of doors and traffic. Secure the ladder when possible. A stable setup prevents unstable outcomes. Learn more: ow.ly/hGYW50YoflM
