Poles on top of van?
« on: January 17, 2007, 05:08:36 pm »
Hi All,

I currently only use an 18ft pole which fits nicely inside my little Vauxhall Combo van.

I now need to get a longer pole (probably a 24ft one), which I don't think will quite fit inside my van.

What do you guys recommend in order to carry poles securely on the top of a van?

cut a slit at the end with the cap big enough for goose neck and brush head to stick out (about a foot) and then you can lock the cap on

must be a bit of a pain coiling up 20ft of hose and squeezing it in the end of the pole???

Does anyone have a picture of a pole stored on the roof in a pole carrier?

Yeah it can be, I have to say it is handy to store the poles on the roof but it is a pain getting the hose in.

Hi Andy,

I have a 24ft brodex predator pole that fits in to my combo van if that helps.

Cheers Jason

I'm planning to get a pole carrier, just a thought but rather than trying to get all the hose in the tube,why not coil it around the brush head or neck and secure it with a bungy, or shut the hose inside your vans back door, I reckon it would be easier and less time consuming.

Here is a lovely pole carrier! I plan to get it my self in the near future.

Scroll down to the bottom.

I have seen it it the flesh and it's so much better and professional looking than soil pipes!
