If I remember right when I spoke to gardiners team they told me that you cant put an extension on an slx 27.

Does anyone know of a way to do this?

I have like maybe two windows on my round now where I need the extra reach but obviously don't want to spend on a bigger pole for them couple of windows, my poles not that old as it is.

not 100% sure but there are 3 separate 4ft extensions for the clx http://gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/all-products/water-fed-poles/pole-specifications.html top of page.

I don't see why you can't just add the extra no. 7 section?

Says here you can: http://gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/all-products/water-fed-poles/extension-sections-for-telescopic-poles/slx-extension-section-7.html

Email Alex to be sure if you want. Gonna cost you £100 though just for a couple of windows.

here you go, got you down to £60 just bump the price up £2 and you'll get your money back in about 2 1/2 years  http://gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/all-products/water-fed-poles/extension-sections-for-telescopic-poles/clx-extension-section-7.html

cheers, but I doubt the clx will be compatible with the slx. probably a cheaper option if so though.

[Simon Trapani]

It might be. Check with Alex..

Thank si, I'm sure it'll pay for itself in time!

1 of the jobs in question will be put up by a fiver and a couple of quid on the other, then ill probably get some more work for it.

forget what i said read the post quickly and thought you put clx 

[Simon Trapani]

It is a pain adding sections. You are better eventually buying a longer pole for the higher jobs.

[/quote]I use clx ext 6&7 on an slx 22 as it was cheaper. If the slx27 is the same diameter as the slx25 then ext7 should fit.

[Plankton]

Just checked the site, the clx ext7 will fit. The 25ft with ext6 is same diameter as the 27ft. Got them mixed up before.

[paul alan]

cheers Alan I may just do that as I doubt there will be much difference in flex on the last section.

You can interchange most of the Gardiner poles , just look at the handle diameters and get the next section up .
I was in the same boat , i was taking a clx 27 and an slx 18 to work , all i do now is take the 2 bottom sections of the 27 and put them on the 18 when needed , it used to be a bit of a pain when i used full pole hose but now i run tubeless its a doddle , probably the best change i think yo can make with regard to coiling hoses after every job , and the rectus stays good for donkeys .
