How to walk on plaster stilts?
| Wonkee Donkee has the following tips to help you use plaster stilts. The stilts must be in a neutral and upright position. There should be no tendency to lean forward or backward. | |
| Similarly, the lateral balance should also be neutral, so the calf braces should not pull in or out. |
 | If you are just starting out, take slow, small, deliberate steps, keeping your stilts well apart. |
 | When you feel more confident, you can take a step wider. |
 | Always walk forward when wearing stilts. |
 | It is advisable to have a table or bench so that you can easily get on and off the stilts. |
 | Use a plasterer's bench (also called a mortar stand). This allows you to keep your tools close at hand. Click here for information on Mortar Racks. |
 | An installed bench (like the one above) eliminates the need for unnecessary bends that put stress on the stilts and your body. |
