What should be the horizontal distance in feet for a ladder to the wall?
The best tip I've come to is that for every four feet of height you have to climb, move the base one foot away from the wall. Better still is to have someone foot the ladder, or to fasten the ladder with a rope, preferably near the top of the ladder to avoid the ladder sliding sideways.
What is the minimum length of a ladder required to access a roof surface 12 feet off the ground?
You should normally have three rungs(steps) past the surface you are climbing to from the ladder. They are a foot apart on most ladders so 15 feet would be close. Add a foot since you have to angle the ladder appropriately(scope) so 16 feet or longer is safe. A 20 foot extension ladder would be a good choice.
