Not really, that one looks light duty. At 5m it would be OK for modest use. Mine is made up of long and short sections, from memory I think you end up with a five foot by three foot tower capable of I think 12 metres height. The highest I've needed to work at is just over seven metres so I've got some spare if I want to make two smaller towers and plank across. It's really easy to put up, the sections slot into one another and then you pinch up a bolt on each inter-locking piece. You do need to tie it in at higher builds and it must be level as it will twist. I have a number of chunky pieces of timber for that.
Never had any regrets buying it, it's paid for itself many times over.
