If money wasn't a issue what would be the best pole for 3rd and 4th floors!?
Getting rather confused with all the advice I've been given!
Just don't wanna waste a load of hard earnt cash!

3rd & 4th floors-extreme 47'

There are mainly 4 (well technically 5 if you include modular(and pedantic like sunshine windows)) types of pole
Lets use gardiners as an example as people may wet themselves if i dont

Base level - tends to made from fibre glass (heavy, whippy/bendy but gets you working)
Next level up - tends to be a carbon/fibre glass composite - gardiners clx range (decent budget pole)
Mid to top range - carbon pole - gardiners slx range - light and reasonably rigid
Top level (if discounting modular) - usually a higher grade carbon - gardiners extreme range - very light and rigid

(Modular poles are usually for high level work

In a nutshell thats an idiots guide to poles (no offence)  

So if money is no problem, go for an extreme and the height you require

That makes 5 including modular you Donkey 

But don't forget the supermax range from Gardiners too. Will get you at a greater height than slx but a lot whippier than the extreme

Unfortunately on this forum your only going to get reviews on Gardiner poles, which is a pity because I'm sure
there are other poles out there that could be better.
I certainly wouldn't mind a similar pole to the Gardiner range but with a better clamp.

You're sure there could be better?
Great  .

If cost is not important, look at the ionics range, there is an other world other than gardiner.

I have the nlite himodulas carbon pole with extensions that takes me to 65 ft. Its by far the best pole i have used. Although i havnt used an extreme 47 but i can recomend the nlite carbon or himod carbon as both good sturdy well made poles.

was going to post but forgot this is a gardiners forum

If you were interested in another brand of poles there are the Phoenix range.

They basically have the same types of poles. 

A hybrid (part carbon - part fibreglass) is what most people start with.. (mostly) and then move to a full carbon or better, but most of us who have had both (me included) would rather have taken everyone else s advice and bought a full carbon first as they are the best day to day poles. 

But when yours starting out most of the beginners dont have hundreds to fork out from the start.
