Like this one.

Hi bitmonet. Interesting ask as the shipping cost would be prohibitive. I have been in construction for near 50 years and for 40 of those years have owned aluminium extension and step ladders and was happy for the lighter tools and not having to treat and maintain their timber brothers.

When we moved here it was with a 20ft shipping container and one aluminium extension and 2 sets of聽 step ladders were packed in.

Once here we also purchased 2 full sets of scaffolding and not expensive.

Hope you have joy finishing your home.

Cheers, Steve.

Thanks for the quick reply.I also thought about scaffolding.The cheapest I saw was on Lazada for around 50,000 PHP.The ones for 10-20 thousand are unusable, too small and without wheels.In Austria and Germany, 90% of ladders are made of wood. It is not just wood, but layers of thin wood glued together.They are very light and strong.I worked as a plasterboard installer for walls and ceilings. I also worked as a painter and wallpaperer.When I climb a ladder, I work on it for several hours and don't have to climb down because you can walk on these ladders.Actually, when you go to a construction company and have your first interview with the owner, he asks if you can walk on a ladder.Do you know any really professional building supply stores in the Philippines? It doesn't matter if it's in Manila or Cebu.

Best regards

On Shopee,

Search 鈥淲ooden Ladder Trestle鈥�

Scroll down, there are a few

Maybe check on Lazada also鈥�

Also most of the Wood shops around my area are capable of fabricating one up to customers specs, I would check around close to your area or check FB marketplace for one close to you鈥�

bitmonet said . . . .Hallo, I am posting this question on the forum because I no longer have the energy to search the internet for something as simple as where to buy a ladder in Cebu, Philippines, but not necessarily.I am considering buying a ladder in Europe and shipping it by plane or ship, which is madness.Of course, you can buy aluminium ladders here, but I am looking for a wooden one.I am a retired construction worker and I have used wooden ladders throughout my entire professional life.This year I'm flying to the Philippines and I want to finish my house. Paint it, wallpaper it, maybe put in suspended ceilings.I can work and walk on a wooden ladder by myself, and I have both hands free.I work on an aluminium ladder for maybe 1 metre and then I have to climb down, move it and climb back up again.I lose more energy climbing up and down than I do doing the actual work.Does anyone know where I can buy a ladder like this, because I can't find anything like it online in the Philippines? Best regards.

I don't know how old you are but you mentioned you don't have the energy to search the internet. If you are a senior you may not have the energy for your task, many accident (falls) by seniors happen from ladders.

I would suggest hiring a Filipino with a ladder (or he could make one) to paint & wallpaper.

叠辞产-听 Maybe you have inadvertently given the O/P the solution - see if he can get one custom made in wood to his requirements.

@vehicross100

Thanks for the information. I'll keep trying.

@Enzyte Bob

Don't worry, I have plenty of energy and free time.I will not hire a painter because painting is the final stage of work on the construction site.This is my second home in the Philippines.The first one, built 8 years ago, is in need of a complete overhaul.I simply won't make that mistake again and won't trust local workers.

@Cherryann01

Yes, that's a good idea. Thanks.

The utility guys (linemen) often seem to use ladders made of bamboo, at least around Dumaguete - makes sense with no metal path to ground. And I know there is (or used to be) a large native furniture place off Gorordo Ave, across from the University of Philippines, perhaps they could make you one if they don't already have one in stock.

@pnwcyclist

Thanks for the suggestion.
