You might find it won't work too well on uneven surfaces but will be fine on slabs or tarmac. I had to fit new wheels on a roof ladder I borrowed to paint my chimneys, as one of them fell apart. In my case I think the plastic wheel had been affected by sunlight as the ladder is normally stored outside. The old wheels were the sort used on pushchairs in the '60s. I found a scrap carpet shampooer which supplied a pair of wheels of suitable size so it was just a case of making up spindles.
