How to build a tall wooden platform?

[oasis1frog]

Would like to build a 1 meter high platform to stand on for hedge trimming. Does anyone have a link to a video/instruction to build, instead of trying to reinvent the wheel ?

Hi @oasis1frog 

To build a wooden platform that high and  stable would make the whole thing heavy and  cumbersome and not really easialy move able.

Could I steer your thoughts towards two  modest ladders and a  aluminum tresle plank.

this will give you a light wieght movable platform that can  do used  for roof gutter  cleaning and you will have a ladder for other projects  all storable after use,

You can  even set the trestle waist height and use it as an outdoor work bench.

Hi @oasis1frog,

I'd agree with @Jewelleryrescue that a timber platform would be rather cumbersome. Also, check out this Syneco 3.7m 120kg Multifold Aluminium Ladder as it could provide an all-in-one solution.

Please let us know if you have any questions.
