Given that I'm not getting any younger and my trees won't stop dropping their leaves, I reckon it's time to fit some ladder brackets to the roof. I've got a harness and a few anchor points on the roof, but it's getting from the ladder onto the roof and vice versa that scares me. I'd like at least two sets of brackers, but ideally four.

I found these sold by a company in Sydney, but they are $150 a set plus GST. Basically a strip of SS with a profile formed into it. It appears to be no more than 3mm thick. I'd like to try making my own. Not necessarily the same as these. Have any of you chaps made something like this before? They don't have to meet any standard (just my standards). Keen to hear any ideas.

Edit: clarified the price.
