The name of Alu --> Aluminium.

Allu won't rust, but the small parts at joint might not be allu

the hinges and folding mechanism is not aluminum, that will rust over time

Cannot. Must put in refrigerated room. Put outside in the sun later it will melt.

susah like this

Aluminium does not rust like steel. The oxide layer sticks strongly on the surface and forms a protective layer. So if it's no longer shiny don't go and scrub to expose the unoxidized layer underneath.

Put a tarp over it.

If sayang you keep indoor but the problem with this s**t will hit all the wall, winscoting, some frames, mother in law ehh..

Keep inside la.

The parts will rust and jam.

hard to carry to the particular spot..

my Thermal Spray guys say must scrub, otherwise cannot feed into their machines....

wat tarp?
sajat ka?

Scrub what? The feeder wire? Why you pee on it?

Some ktards definitely have wet dreams of sajat on a ladder.

Me keep in store.
Coz outside it will be stolen in no time.

ah wang took my seat

I have 1 exactly like you put into picture. the horizontal leg is very flimsy. I exerted a bit of force when I'm on the ladder and it bended and I fell. I think I broke fourth toe.

WD40 kan ada

You stay there. Ayam running for the hills now

Probably copty of good brand like Everlast. That low quality one will have thinner material not designed to rated weight.

nearly 300 bucks from Giant. dunno what brand.

Yup, exactly this. The "klak...klak...klak...klak.." gear part with the spring inside will rust, and it will eventually stop functioning. Then u can buang the ladder. Worse is when it stop functioning while the ladder is unfolded. U cant fold it coz gear sudah jam, and u cant bring it inside your house coz the ladder too long.
GG.com

lub it with grease, later got greasy greasy feel

Yes the hinge part is not aluminum but composite metal. That will rust. Even indoor humidity over time will make it hard to move if not sprayed with lubricant.

Why need to put outside in rain? It would be a nice tool for thief to get into the house. If really need to put in rain, then why need foldable type? Get one that can slide and latch like the one used by TM or painter.

alu... rust.. kenot brain

Cover with tarp.

I have similar ladder
Since 2008

No rust (coz it's Alu.)

Rust, no. Dirty, hell yeah.
Got an Alu ladder thats been using since previous century still good even though didn't keep properly

Check the rivets, hooks

Means Everlast is a copy, or Everlast is a good brand?

better keep indoor la why susah2

Shit ladder. Go buy a proper one please. There is already case of people fall from it despite securely locked.

the joints is not made of alu 100% will rust, heavy, not comfortable to stand and step on for long
buy a proper ladder

i have the 5ft aluminium inverted V type… the bolts all still ok after 10 years… but i put under shade away from water

just to access roof top. stupid developer build it atupid design... hard to access concrete roof top to clean

Coat joints with slicone spray.

Dont la keep it totally exposed to outdoors, not direct good enough no need completely indoor.

but im starting to think your not qualified to use a ladder...

Don't bother with this ladder, it's flimsy and very heavy. Get the usual A Type Aluminium, last very long.

my advice is spend some more money and buy a quality one

it can be a used one, it doesn't matter
it will be worth it in the long run

Confusing sentence. Everlast is good brand.

Glad to hear that. I have an Everlast ladder.

Use ceramic coating
