There should be some instructions with this product, even if it is only an A4 sheet listing the items included, a note about joining the coloured dots on the items provided, and some advice on the best way to assemble it. It is advisable to have two people to assemble it. I assembled it on my own with the frame lying down but with the legs opened, to allow easy access to all the coupling points. The problem with this is that the added items add extra weight which twice caused the legs to collapse whilst it was being assembled. With the fastening pins having a sharpish single length when fitted, this could prove quite dangerous if it catches you on collapse. I am almost of the feeling that the manufacturer should devise some means of clamping/locking the hinges on the leg braces, so that the legs cannot collapse once opened, until the brace is released. This would also be useful, without the extension fitted, as the braces sometimes release when just manoeuvring the frame over smaller bushes/plants in front of a hedge, especially with single person manoeuvring. Once assembled the product is excellent. Very steady and sturdy. Good quality manufacture and quality materials. I’m very pleased with the product but feel the addition of some instructions would help immensely.

Does exactly what I want it to and provides a solid, stable extension to my Hi-step. Can't comment about durability as only had the extender a few weeks but my Hi-step is around 15 years old and still going strong with no signs of wear/aging.
Feel safe using this product senior was right height haven’t used 1 metre ext yet but all seems stable
Great extension section the good thing about it is that its ladder specific it will fit the whole range which is very good. John
Easy to assemble - provides a very handy increase in height - can be removed easily when the height of the original ladder is enough.
Bought the hi-step junior a few months ago and found it excellent for hedge trimming. It’s made the job much easier. The extender is for a mature leylandii hedge which is much higher. The extender makes this job possible. My only observations are that it takes a while to build the unit as it can’t be stored in one piece like the ladder and has to be assembled and then dismantled after use. It’s also quite expensive as a set of metal tubes. But, it does the job.
Very Sturdy even on uneven ground but you need two people to move them around as they are fairly heavy and wide when using the extension section.
Colour coding disks on parts confusing and not all matching
A must have accessory for the hi step ladder, well made, easy to assemble and install. Gives my Hi step senior the ability now to reach much higher places safely. Great products
Not used yet but looks as well made as the Junior.
The item did not come with assembly instructions or best practice instructions. Could be made easier to use And fold for use on roof racks with main henchman.
Ace ladder. Perfect for so many tasks.
If you need the extra height then this is he beast for you. At last we have a safe, easy way of painting our upstairs windows!
