The longer the better, but mine are also around 1.3 and are sufficient.
Particularly if you have diff locks then 2 are enough.
Generally, the longer and the more the better, but again, for a regular
normal use, a pair of 1.3 m aluminium sand boards should be largely
sufficient. But take large ones, as this really makes them easier to use.

Subject: [ELCO] Overland Query: Sand Ladders / 'Perforated aluminium Boards'
/ Waffle Boards
Ho hum,
I have been woefully inaccurate and exposed my ignorance! Since posing the
query re the sand ladder and the waffle board, I am now aware that the sand
ladder is actually a ladder! What I should have been refering to was not a
sand ladder, but the flat 'perforated metal/aluminium board', known as a
sand board.
I am proposing to take one or the other (wafffle or sand board) as 'feel
good' item. However I am thinking of carrying them transversely on the roof
rack and thus they would be no longer than 1.3m. My queries are:
1. Will this length be too short for the purposes of recovery?
2. I intend to take 2 only, is there a genuine case for taking 4?
Roman, I have seen your post on the subject on the Hubb. If possible, could
you clarify the wieght/effectiveness question:
1. Are waffle boards and the light weight bridging ladders, as sold by
www.bridgingladders.co.uk , inter changeable as recovery/bridging equipment?
2.The impression you gave was that the bridging ladder was heavier than the
sand board. Is this the case and is the same true regarding the waffle board
and the sand board?
Cedric and Clive thanks for your advice
