What does the 26 foot mean? is it the measurement of one side of the a-frame? is this a telescoping design. i need to easily reach a 17' ceiling.

This is 26' in in telescopic mode. You can sit all the way on top when it is open in A setting. This is very sturdy and rigid but I doubt you can work on ceiling 17' high, Little giant can be helpful if you're working on stairs.

26 ft means that an average person can stand at the top of the ladder and reach to at least 26 ft, I have one, it stands about 23 ft, yes it does telescope, it is the best ladder you will ever own!

The ladder can be used as either a up to 13' A-frame or up to a 26' extendable ladder. It is a very stable ladder in either configuration.

I decided against getting this ladder, because, as was stated, it is at most 12.5 feet high in the A frame configuration. I rented a 17' long A Frame ladder, which in the open position, was about 14-15 ft high, at the highest rung. But who wants to be on the highest rung at that height? We had to do electrical work in the ceiling along with cutting and repairing & then sanding down the repairs in the dry wall, requiring being closer to the ceiling than simply reaching light bulbs.

The 26' is the total length with extended. However, both sides telescope, so it is easily tall enough when in an a-frame setup to allow you to reach a 17' ceiling. The ladder is very heavy, but this is mainly only a problem when opening or closing it. Moving it about isn't a problem for me.

I believe the ladder is 23 ft. (telescoping) with a 3 ft. reach (your arms) making 26 ft. and 11 feet a-frame with a 3 ft. reach making 14 ft.. This is a great ladder. I use it for my home inspections business. I'm able to fold it up and get it in the back of my 2008 Jetta with the back seat down. This saves me a lot at the gas pump.

It's the overall length of the ladder when it's fully extended. So you'll be able to stand on probably the third highest rung which will give you about a 22 foot height. Each of the 2 sections is telescoping, then it unfolds. But be aware that this ladder has to be over 50 lbs. which will make it tremendously hard to handle. The one I have is just as heavy and my neighbor and I together could not maneuver it into position to reach his roof gutters. We gave up! It's just too cumbersome when it's unfolded. But in the fully extended A frame position, it's easier to manage. That will make it about I guess is 12.5 ft high total. At that height, a 6 ft. man reaching up should be able to change those pesky light bulbs on a 17 ft. vaulted ceiling. Good Luck!

I have 25' ceiling and it works terrific. Closer the ceiling the more HD it is. Never tried outside. Great unit.

This is a fixed length model. The telescoping model says "adjustable"--see item 013-070.

It is definitely 26" from left to right, and 17 " from front to back. Very sturdy and attactive- one of my favorite online purchases.

I agree with previous answer. We hung ours from a 17-foot ceiling and project onto a 10 X 20 wall that is only 15 feet away; this is in our 'hi-tech' area with subdued lighting and it gave us a nice effect.

Yes 28" is the max also it depends how high is your ceiling. After I installed mine,I noticed that it was too short so I contacted the company and asked for another set of extension rod to buy, but they said they don't have any to sell. Funny part is when they sent me the package, extension rods were missing and the sent it to me right away,but when I asked for one more set, they said they don't have it.

I just measured, and it is 74". My 5 yr old jumps higher than that, so I would be careful if it is too close to the ceiling for bigger kids.

Probably no more then 24 inches. Plus it should be overhead and not on the side.

If you need a 26" then make sure it says 26". 29" is a fad that will hopefully prove its point as pointless ;)

The truss that goes across is 2 pieces that connect to make the truss approx 9' or 10' across. I have ours set up in the house using only 1 piece so it doesnt take as much space. the tripods go very high; my ceilings are 9' and the tripods can go higher than that! This is a fantastic product better that the ones they sell at Sam Ash for $500!!! Worth every penny!

Hi there,I haven't measured it but I can do. all I know is that I have it sitting out side of the water and it looks mega mega high. It looks very out of place. I wish now (quality is great) that I bought the 3 step as I am now going to try and cut this ladder so it doesn't stick out in the air so much. if its in the water fine, but when its sitting out the water, it doesn't look very nice.If you still need me to measure it I will

They must be referring to the width of the base, which is flush with your ceiling. The actual "light" piece is very narrow, not more than an inch I would say. Beautiful piece, we get many compliments!

I'm pretty sure I have the largest, the 26'. It is A-frame to 11'. I also have a two-story entrance. I have been able to get to my light three different ways. One is with the ladder in A-frame and me standing on the next to top rung and stretching, barely. Another was extended all of the way and using the standoff accessory to keep it out away from the wall some, which was much easier. The final way may have been unique to me, but I reached out from the balcony with a pole and pulled the hanging light to me. Good luck. Again, I'm pretty sure this is the very best you are going to get.

I purchased this for my son. He will be moving into a cabin built on a pond. He hasn't put it together with the pole yet. This hook is not meant for a telescopic (is stated in hook description)pole. I bought him a 20' pole on another site. I was concerned when I read reviews that telescopic poles retrack at times. I have granddaughters and worry about the pond which is 25-30' deep.

The max A frame height for the 22' version is 9'. There is an image showing the max and min. A frame height for all three versions. The 26' version is the highest one.

18" is correct. This is for use on a standard ceiling height. For higher ceilings you can use the longer down rods. In my case, although the ceiling is over 10' high, there is an interior 16" beam that runs the length of the ridge, so I used the short down rod and attached the fan to the bottom of the beam. The fan looks great, works great, and as my review states, I really do have two Hunter fans that have been in continuous use for 38 and 36 years.

well it depends on which way you set it. if you set it like in the pic, well then its 24" tall. if you set it with the door opening toward the sky, then its 24 long. And if you set it on its edge then you're gonna need to use geometry to determine the height.
