i use my stilts all the time but on the lowest setting and find them comfy and feel 100% safe on them at this height.
But found my self on my stilts today on the highest setting on a nice sizes ceiling.
But my arse hole was going and my hart was in my throat shakes wobbles the lot. cant say Im looking forward to the new 4 days as iv got 4 biggish ceiling to do and if today as any thing to go by think ill have a ambulance on standby.
how do you guys find it on your stilts????:RpS_cursing::RpS_cursing:
any tips for staying upright not on my arse
 
My advice is to not to use them on their highest setting: one fall and you could be out of work for months. Instead, I would suggest you buy a pair of adjustable hop ups. They are much more stable and at their max height setting they are perfectly stable. Straddle across the two to cover more distance without having to hop up and down all the time :-)
 
If there are a few of you on them make sure you stay clear of each other cus if one goes you all go like domminos. .....DOMMINOS....
 
If you do go over remember to through your trowel away ,or you will lose your fingers ! just before you break your wrists & arms & fracture your skull ....... only joking mate man the **** -up !! lol
 
what about using a big pole like the tight rope walkers use.......................:RpS_wink:

Instead of putting them on the highest setting, try them at your usual height and step into a pair of high-heels - if @DannyMac is near you he might loan you one of his flowery frocks too :RpS_love:

LOL, I only loan them out to real enthusiasts. Sounds like this punk might be more into the PVC type get ups.

Keep at it and you will get used to them, its just like starting on them again, they feel heavy and awkward as hell. Still better than haling scaffold about tho IMO.
