Title: Pole length
Post by: Sseddon on June 04, 2010, 04:45:03 pm

Ooo err missus.... but a serious question. I'm about to invest in a Pure Freedom complete package. I've two questions. There are a lot of three storey town houses around here, so what pole legnth should I go for. Also, are they quite stiff when fully extended.... no sn****ring at the back, these are genuine questions.

i have a 24ft carbon fibre pole(28ft reach) which does 3 storey work,

if you get a fibreglass pole that length it will be heavier and no where near as rigid, spend the extra and get a carbon fibre pole mine is a facelift 5 section and is brilliant

A 25-30ft pole will do depending on the property  and the advice about carbon fibre is spot on.

I reckon, for the money, Extel poles are fine so long as you steer away from fibreglass and at least get the hybrid version. We have a 35ft version and use it all day with no problems ;)

25ft will cover you...

Stick away from fibre glass as they are heavy and whippy at height.

I'd go for an alloy or carbon fibre pole depending on your budget

Thanks all. I did wonder whether fibreglass would b rigid enough.

hxtel or a brodex hydra will get you going for very little money, 24ft should cover most domestic!! hope this helps
