As a cable tv installer, I own 2 fiberglass ladders. 1 28ft type 1A, and a 12ft extension. I have had the 12 footer for 5 years, and I believe it may be a few years older. It is still in good shape. I am on my 4th 28ft. The first one I sold, as I thought I was getting out of the buisness. Some of my buddys decieded to use the second one as a ladder into the salt water canal in Key West, FL. It seemed to corrode the protective layer and was rough and itchy on the skin. I fell a tree on the 3rd. I have had this one for a couple of years, and still works great. Some may frown on the dents in some of the rungs, but at $375, It works fine to me.
