There's no way a 24ft pole will reach the top of that window

Why not just buy a 30ft minimum (length or reach) that give you the opportunity to do a lot of higher work i.e. 3 storey or you,ll be getting another pole later.

I,m getting the new brodex alloy soon, but have always used tucker previously.

Not bad! Is that about 35 foot? Whats it made of?

Would need to put that on the roof! My vans not long enough

its made of ali, thus its hard wearing

i will be honest, ive tried a similar length glass fibre, it was about the same weight

BUT imho its ok for the odd job ( i use it for 1.1/4 hours  on 1 of my jobs, its gets heavy after that time) and you havent spent the earth to buy it

i wpuld say 28ft was the right choice you dont want to be stood to close to the building and stretching better having a nice angle so your neck is slightly looking up(if you know wot i mean!)

Sureclean do,

Yeh I thought that, even if it doesnt get used much, the extra 4 or 5 feet will mean I can get to work I couldnt with the 24. Hence the reason I ordered the 28

Rob, is that for the glass fibre poles?

[chrismroberts]

My pole arrived yesterday so returned to this place to do the top window. Thought some of you might be interested in this, its the 28 foot. Only just reached the very top apex  The 24 might have reached, but it would've been nearly vertical

Thanks for all the advice

[Jeff Brimble]

Excellent follow up pic, cheers

The pole would be diagonal though, so wouldn't you lose some height? Pythagoras and stuff? LOL.... I AM a short arse

Buy a trampoline then and use that for the up and down motion of the pole.

Yeh that'll work for the downstairs windows, but what about the upstairs ones?

When I say I'm a short arse... I mean it... I was actually holding the pole in the picture! You just can't see me behind the wall.

[john tomkins]

What's your first impressions of the pole?

If you take the base section off that pole it`ll be 24ft more or less and like i said before a 24ft pole would have easily have reached those window`s without stretching,look how far back you have that pole at 28ft,fully extended it`s almost to long lol.

[chrismroberts]

What's your first impressions of the pole?

Just done today with it, but first impressions are brilliant  Tis a pleasure to use!

It weighs almost exactly the same as my 18 foot pole, but with loads of extra reach, and minimal flex. Done a couple of windows above conservatories no problem. One of the best things about it though is its shorter than my 3x6ft 18 pole when closed, which is great for confined spaces and turning it on its side etc.

LOL yeh, MILES too long Tried taking the base section off but the pole end got caught on the hosetail LOL. Will sort that at some point, when I can be bothered  One thing that would worry me though, the base of the 2nd section would get worn quite quickly if I removed the base, can you buy end caps for it?

[Alex Gardiner]

We can supply end caps for you if you need

Hahaha.  Very good   

[chrismroberts]

You can, for the 2nd section? How much?

[Alex Gardiner]

Kirsty can let you know exactly what the cost will be but it should be under a fiver including delivery & VAT.

[chrismroberts]

Good stuff. Thanks for that, will give her a call later on.
