Henchman 3 Leg Adjustable Tripod Ladder Review: The Best Ladder Money Can Buy?

[@HoopersGardenMaintenance]

Great review,they definitely are a game changer. I’ve got the 6ft & 10ft 👍🏼

[@thegeordiefellwalker8878]

another great in depth review mate 👍

[@MrGardener18]

Thanks mate.

[@denispearce5402]

Good review cheers👍

I have the 6ft non platform Hendons, as you say a game changer. I can safely stand on the second to the top rung however they don't recommend it. I do need a bigger pair for some hedges 10ft limit for me I think 🤔. 👍

[@lewisgriffiths694]

Hiya, great review! I've just bought the 8ft one but like you with the 6ft one doesnt really fit in the my vivaro which I thought it would going by dimensions! I might have to get a roof rack but worried it won't fit like your 6ft one, I expect it will if I have 3 roof bars, which type of roof rack have you got?

[@MrGardener18]

The shape is annoying to fit anywhere. We use rhinos bars with the rhino ladder clamp for speed, and it works well. You will probably need the 3 roof bar set up to make sure you can attach it.

[@lewisgriffiths694]

@MrGardener18 I bought two but might have to get another bar, hopefully they will fit on the vanguard bars

[@karlitobergkamp8082]

I want a set of 6ft ones but they’re only available on pre-order 😔

Could I ask a hedging question totally unconnected to this review ? I have just watched an older video when you were cutting two curved hedges either side a driveway, my privet hedges have over the years become very wide but i can see that cutting them back hard will leave me with a brown hedge, is privet and holly capable of recovering so that i will get back to having a slender green hedge in the future. thanks

[@MrGardener18]

both privet and holly respond very well to a hard prune. I would recommend pruning them hard when there dormant so no later than February and they should recover quickly.

Yeh only conifers don't like hard cut backs

[@pablo9364]

So if you had a third roof bar on your van roof (in the middle) the six foot tripod ladder could stow/fit better ?? Anyway excellent review and lots of good tips. Thanks

[@MrGardener18]

Yes that should work.

[@pablo9364]

@@MrGardener18 yes it is finicky attaching this 6ft henchman to my Peugeot partner van. It only just fits across the length of theroof bars , the middle bar helps a bit. I may eventually get the 8footer if I ever cut taller hedges but I don’t like heights so may not.

[@michaellee4537]

Hey I'm in Australia and want to get the 12ft but if I want to do the top of a hedge that's smaller dose the extra bit at the top get in the way?

[@MrGardener18]

not in my experience.
