You could buy another no5 unger double end one, and join them to make a 6 section pole if its only for a few jobs.

Hi
Is that the right name so if i go to the shop where i live they will know what i am  on about. Would the pole hold it's own using this extra section?

Thanks for that idea .

Sorry, no you have to make your own double ender by cutting two of the  the "square"  holes on the bottom of a no5 and fitting 1 extra cone. You cannot shop buy them but I think Peter Fogwill may supply you with one if you cannot diy.

I gave soap national a call today and they said it was not a good idea to use or add a six section to make a water fed pole.
Has any one else tried this and what results have you had,like i said i only need it 2 times a year but want something workable.

regards

Nip over to Peters site and post the same Q , I think you will find a few over there that have the used 6th section. I have used mine up to 7.5 sections but its a work of art.

Extremely hard work but you should manage a 6 section ok for the odd few windows.
