The commercial wooden tripod ladders I have seen in Ontario have the side pieces and the rungs reinforced with metal rods, which add safety and might be difficult for a home builder or carpenter to do.

The aluminum ladders are expensive but very strong and should last a lifetime if not longer.

Hello

A number of years ago we bought a wood Baldwin orchard ladder at a regional growers’ supply place. We got the 2 leg style that comes to a point, and it works well. I am thinking of buying or making a 3 leg one for those times when it would be helpful.
