Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. Does It Take Long Learning To Walk In The Stilts?
A. It normally only takes about an hour to get used to walking in the stilts. The best way to learn is start on the smallest setting and walk around the house getting used to them before starting a job in them.
Q. Aren't The Stilts Dangerous?
A. Like anything the stilts can be dangerous if the user is not proficient and competent in using them. As for the stilts themselves they are designed to be as safe as possible and should be checked before every use. Always make sure the area you are working in is dry and there are no tripping hazards.
Q. Do They Hurt To Wear?
A. Some people say that their legs and feet hurt when using the stilts. We have found as long as the stilts are strapped on tightly and securely, this takes away the pain. We also recommend that your shoes are tightly tied to shop them from hurting you.
Q. Are Plasterers The Only People That Wear The
Stilts?
A. No, a lot of trades that have to work at height prefer to use the stilts as they're easier and faster than scaffolding, especially for smaller jobs. Some of the trades would include electricians and painters.
We believe the stilts are a great addition to any plasterers, decorators or electricians' tools, as they will allow you to get the job done faster without the hassle of putting up scaffolding or moving the ladder all the time.
