I have one of those
and he does some amazing stuff for me
We tried some masonry ladders and found them too flimsy, too narrow, and too short for my crazy desires
sorry bout the weird background here, but this is a free-standing or self-supporting arch (sort-of loosely patterned after the idea of what I wished that a masonry ladder could do but it could not, so this was born)
It's cool too, you can't really tell from this angle, but the parallels are not really parallel so it's got some neat shapes within the plane of the arch (best appreciated from the end-on views) that you cannot get from a masonry ladder.
I am not at all bothered by the rust thing and I actually prefer the color.
Also--I have not experienced a rust related functional deterioration of any of my garden accoutrements (aka junk), much of which predates my existence.
