Jeff. I hope you ordered the composite pole!! If you did you wont regret it.This thread is about the glass fibre only ones. I woudnt use the glass only ones at more than 20ft. Even then they do seem very whippy. Alex. To be safe go for a 30ft pole. The one I have will do up to low 4th floor work but I use it on everything now. It collapses down to a very usable 5 ft. Its light and great for all day use. it is the COMPOSITE one though. NOT the glass one.
