How do you make scaffolding using 2 extension ladders?

I've found 'ladder jacks' online that can be attached to ladders so you can put a board between them, but didn't find any on the Bunnings website.

Does Bunnings sell any hardware that can be used to make a platform between two extension ladders.

I'm looking for a low cost scaffolding solution for a one time project, I already have 2 extension ladders.

Renting scaffolding would get expensive as I only have a couple hours a day every so often so the project may take a couple weeks.

I had some 45x100mm boards left over from boxing watertank slab.  Planned to use a couple side by side with metal strap to tie together.  Then clamp to the ladder jack platforms.

Hi @Steve5 

 

My apologies for the late reply. It's great that you got the information for your ladders. But should it not be compatible we'll be more than happy to process an exchange.

 

Happy Holidays!
