This enhancement to my ladder isn't as good as having someone else do my work, but it absolutely improved the stability of my ladder when leaned against a tree trunk. Much cheaper than the ER.

This worked well for me. It wraps around a 18" pole just fine and gave me a little extra confidence when climbing.

This V rung was just a bit short for my Werner, aluminum 36’ extension ladder. A relatively simple fix was to fabricate 4 aluminum plates to expand the inner rail. You’ll need to replace the 3/4” bolts with 1” Stainless steel bolts to accommodate the extra width. Worked like a charm and the ladder works very well too. Hope this can help someone if you run into a similar bind.

You know the drill, you’ve got an extension ladder all the way up to the top position and your standing near the top with a chainsaw on your hand and the ladders rocking back-and-forth as that top rung wobbles on that round tree trunk. Not a recipe for safety but I’ve been doing it for decades. This thing is fantastic because the top of the ladder now sits stable against the tree and the whole set up is so much safer, I should’ve got one of these things forever ago.

Yes, this does make a very stable ladder on a tree. I have a 28 ft ladder & it's very scary to climb up to the top with the top of the ladder wiggling back & forth. This really helps a lot. Make sure you also tie the top of the ladder to the tree with a strap just to be safe. I was impressed at the engineering of this accessory. It's designed to make your assembly easier by making the frame hold the locknuts still while you tighten the bolts from the outside. That was a very nice touch & much appreciated.The instructions DON'T tell you everything you need to know to assemble the v-rung correctly. There's 2 triangles you must mount onto the rung & they are not symmetrical. It's very easy to just assemble them according to the illustrations, install it onto the top of the ladder, then run the extension ladder up the tree only to find out the v-rung is 180⁰ off. So then you have to take the ladder down, remove the v-rung, & try again. My suggestion is, when installing on the ladder, make sure that the v-rung is pointing upward towards the tree at about a 45⁰ angle. They don't tell you anything about that in the instructions because they assume everyone knows that. Be forwarned.

I trim my own Palm Trees and this item is a must. Really stabilizes your ladder and gives you sense of security on the ladder sliding off . Best purchase I have made on Amazon based on others comments. Really satisfied with product. Easy to install and seems well made.

I had to tweak it to fit my Feather Lite Ladder, but it works great! I used it a few times and it's very stable and grips to the tree or pole. Great feature to add! I do recommend this product!

Great for painting exteriors. Rests easily on corners and still feels safe.

I needed to get into trees higher than typical step adders allow and stumbled across this product. My Werner aluminum extension ladder side rails are 1/2" wider distance than the new V-rung adjustment allows and I had to modify the install.- First I used the included pre-drilled plates as a template for the new mounting I required and drilled the holes perpendicular to top of the side rails and parallel to the ladder's scuff guard end cap.- Second- I assembled the new V-rung (left side to left side, right side to right side) and discovered the mounted angle was towards the bottom of the ladder instead of angled towards the top. This simply requires flipping the whole assembly side-to-side and now the angle is correct.- Third I added 1/4" of aluminum flat stock to each side between the new V-rung assembly and ladder side rails to make up for the greater width of my ladders rungs. This also required replacement of the mounting screws with 1" long #10 stainless and nyloc nuts.I was in 4 trees this morning at a ladder height of 14' above ground and the ladder was very stable. Note I also strapped the ladder to the tree using a small load binder strap 3' down from the top of the ladder to ensure safety.

I disliked that it was a non universal fit, although in most cases, one can make it fit. I followed the modification instructions of "Right Connections1" in the comments section of Amazon and modified the V Rung Accessory so it would fit my 24 ft Werner aluminum extension ladder. If Werner employed a slide instead of bolt holes on the universal brackets like they did for the V-Rung, it would be a lot easier to adjust to different width ladders. Now it's just two drill holes; one of those holes you have to ignore, then drill another on the brackets to increase the width capability of the V-Rung Accessory. I would also recommend attaching a snap-on strap from the latter to the pole it is leaning against. It seemed to stabilize the ladder much more. Last recommendation, have a spotter if you can.The cost of the Werner accessory was well worth it - a lot cheaper than renting a "cherry picker" to change bulbs.As a P.S., I used Loctite threadlocker (removable) on all screws and bolts. One can buy on Amazon.
