Fiberglass ladders can be damaged by sunlight, exposing itchy fibers. Eventually, it weakens the ladder, which will need to replaced. In this podcast, Dan Clark talks with ladder expert Dave Francis of Little Giant Ladder Systems.

Dave explains the proper care and feeding of fiberglass ladders, and why UV damage can’t be repaired with coatings or sealers. Dave also gives a brief description of wood ladders, and why they are sometimes conductive.
