Don't be deceived by thinking the web ladders are easier or safer to use. The largest selling web ladder requires a plate to be installed under each window sill, therefore it really is not a portable ladder.
The
largest selling web ladder devise requires a bracket to be mounted to
the inside window sill or frame. It is mounted with 6 - 1/1/4 inch wood
screws. The amount of weight the ladder will support is dependent upon
this mounted bracket. An individual bracket is required for each location
the ladder will be used.
