How Much Would You Charge?

Ino i was thinking that tuffers mate, i duno though i reckon i could handle it but it would be fair tough, what other option is there though

 

[Smurf]

Not if you use a pole assist method they are not tuffers

 

[Andykarlaxxx]

Is that as simple as using your ladder as a rest smurf? Or is it a peice of equipent that you harness yourself into

 

[Smurf]

Yep it's just that simple Andy as you just use the ladder as a fulcrum with any ladder set at the right height.

Just make sure it doesn't fall off the ladder or you could end up in big trouble. :Image13:

Do you have any examples of where you have used the ladder as a Pole Assist please?

Also, Aren't gutter vacs supplied with lightweight poles as standard??

Most cheap guttervac pole being sold get really heavy on acute angle. Even my omni aerospace grade poles without a pole assist I've found can be a nightmare when using on acute angles at a long reach.

Hence why I came up with the idea to use a ladder as a pole assist to take the weight off the pole. That way not only did I find the pole easier to control and less stress on my body it also saves damaging say plastic gutters etc on conservatory roofs when tempted to use that instead.

In this example I set the ladder up so could clear the whole gutter run from that one position with my guttervac. Then used it again still in the same position to wfp the outside of the guttering, fascia and soffit. Simples.

May I add that one was an easy job compared to others I do but you get the general idea how the pole assist can be used.

Hope this helps?

What wfp do you use using this method Smurph. I wouldn't use any of my slx poles. I cherish them.

Like I mentioned before Tuffers

I use an old 35' hybrid pole but only use the sections I need.

Most of the time it's stripped down to approx 22'.

Ah my bad. While you're on, what would you use to get oil off tarmac? I kinda spilt some on my drive last night. Virosol didn't shift it /emoticons/biggrin.png

 

[Smurf]

I'm sure you could adapt something like this to make into a quick fit to put onto a ladder when required http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brand-New-Coarse-Match-Pole-Fishing-Various-Pole-Rollers-Rests-Carp-Fishing-/321043487336?pt=UK_SportingGoods_FishingAcces_RL&var=&hash=item4abfaeda68

That way you could use your decent poles without getting them damaged

What do you think chaps?

Good shout smurf, i reckon the top of the ladder would be enough

 

[Smurf]

Good luck with that one Tuffers :Image13:

A very good idea Mr Smurph. Have a point on me

LOL big scrubba dub dub

 

[Smurf]

I was thinking of using rollers so to not damage my wfp's as constant rubbing of sections on a ladder does a wfp no good at all.

Good shout smurf, i reckon the top of the ladder would be enough

Thanks Tuffers :Image9:
