I think for the poles you want to go direct, I'm sure they cant be beat on price on their own product and you'll have all the after sales support should you need it.

I know it would be more but gardiners backpacks are highly rated

£85 plus cost of a collapsible trolley if you want to put it on one £30 from argos

If you are only using it for tops you wouldn't need to fill it completely and isn't heavy to carry then

 

[Reach For The Glass]

Cheers dave Thanks for looking.

Really? I am going to wfp the lot I think. Still could be good if mounted to a sack truck. Any pics of one done?

 

[Dave B]

This is the

backpack [media]

[/media]This is the trolley i use

http://www.argos.co.uk/m/static/Product/partNumber/7001538.htm

No need for wrapping the hose round it etc just keep in the motor for when you don't want to carry the backpack

2 bungees and you're off

 

[Reach For The Glass]

Cheers dave looks good. This will be my sole source of wfp cleaning. Should be ok right?

Thinking of putting a reel on the top of the trolley.? What do you think.

Just something I noticed..... your going for an sl18 and an sl35

I dunno how much high stuff you do but I do most of my work with a 22 but have also have 2 extra sections for my one commercial job I do and comes in handy doing award gutters over extentions etc. I'd have a think on maybe getting the same as would work out cheaper and takes 2 mins to put the extra sections on.

Also I'd go for 100m of micro bore instead of 30. Will be advantage when pulling into a street where you have a few and maybe do them in one stop instead of a couple not to mention commercial work

 

[Taxlossloz]

Or you could get SLX 35 then clx 18 to save a bit

 

[Reach For The Glass]

I think it was jake mentioned (could be wrong) that the vast majority of residential work is done off of a 18ft pole.

So a slx 18 would be good as it's light and does the job. But will not do any 3 story or veluxe window work hence the 30 or 35 needed.

 

[windowsurfer]

I''ve got slx25 n does me well for those Windows above conservatories n velux Windows on top of houses. Just bought an extension for third story glass ballustrade n other job that gets done twice a year. Overall don't need the extension.

 

[Reach For The Glass]

Really? I recall being told a 25 is pointless. Too long and heavy for normal houses and too short for veluxe etc.

Interesting
