Long enough to reach where you need to get to.

Any help? Sorry, can't think of a better answer

Take a look at the roof you need to access, estimate the distance from the ground.
use Pythagoras to calculate the hypotenuse after working out how far the foot of the ladder needs to be away from the building(adjacent).

this will give you the minimum ladder height required for the job.

Alternatively, buy a triple extension ladder for the big jobs and a shorter one for the easy jobs??

and bear in mind that in Australia, gravity works backwards. you can't falloff a ladder, but could be wafted upwards to destruction. that's why you have safety harnesses.

A six tread fibre glass for domestic will get you most places. Backed up with three way ladder that gives you 4m high access (fibre glass of course) Outside of that, you will be using a tower, or being dangerous.

Do Australian houses have similar ceiling heights to us? Are they single storey or double? I seem to remember when I used to watch neighbours they were mostly single storey. Perhaps Erinsborough isn't typical though?
