Getting on a bit and lots of hedges in our garden (200 yards, some quite
high). Thinking of getting something a bit more steady than we use ATM to
cut them. Been looking at the Henchman Hi-Step Range :-

http://www.henchman.co.uk/productcategory.jsf?id=1

OK expensive but might make things a little safer - wife fell a couple of
years ago (unsteady step ladder) and hurt herself.

Anyone used Henchman ? Thoughts ?

TIA.

I've got one but it's nowhere near long enough for some of the high and
quite wide hedges. I really do need to be up there.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I bought on a couple of years ago & generally very happy with it -
it's definitely a lot safer than a bog-standard stepladder or platform
due to it's seemingly infinitely adjustable legs / feet - very useful
on uneven ground. It is fairly heavy to move around (though I've got
the steel not the aluminium), and the adjusting does take time, but
overall worth the hassle.

Can't remember which model I bought (looking at the pictures I think
it's the Senior) & it gets me in a position to trim a 10-12' hedge

Hope this helps.

Sounds like what I need although I'll probably go for the aluminium one.

I'm looking at the Junior - up to 9' 6". Got a bit of hedge a little higher
but the Junior will cope with most of my hedges.

Hope this helps.

It does indeed - thanks Paul.
