##FAQs:
Are platform steps suitable for outdoor use?
Some platform steps are suitable for outdoor use, but it depends on their specific design and construction. Platform steps made from weather-resistant metals, with non-slip treads and corrosion-resistant coatings, are better suited for outdoor environments. However, it's essential to check the manufacturer's specifications and guidelines to ensure that the platform steps you intend to use are indeed suitable for outdoor use. Indoor-use-only platform steps may not withstand exposure to moisture, sunlight, or other outdoor conditions, compromising their safety and longevity if used outside.
Can I adjust the height of platform steps?
Platform steps may be fixed or adjustable. Fixed steps have a set number of rungs, while adjustable steps can reach different heights thanks to telescoping or extendable legs. The number of rungs corresponds to the maximum height or reach. Always consult the manufacturer's specifications to determine adjustability and maximum height capacity.
How easy are they to set up and take down?
Platform steps that come with built-in mobility options, adjustable stabilisers, and foldable designs usually provide greater convenience and efficiency in both setup and takedown processes.
