Ladders/steps - maybe not using 'properly' - maybe most DIYers don't, so probably a good idea to shell out for a tower. Most of these products can handle at least 150kg, which sounds a lot, but if you’re going to be loading up the platform with paint cans, power tools, etc.

Non-slip, 4cm diameter rungs are featured for your peace of mind when climbing inside the structure. It’s a system that works well, but having the choice to quickly remove the wheels for extra stability when stationary, is a good idea if you ask me.

Even though the tower does come with stabilisers, it is still very lightweight and so doesn’t feel quite as stable as a steel tower scaffold, and I would still advise tying on to a building, or using some extra structural support, especially if not on a completely fat surface.
