Recommended Poles?

[orca]

Can anyone recommend a decent wfp I can buy to reach set back third story windows??

 

[bluemonkey]

all depends on budget

cheap clx,

medium slx, phoenix carbon,

expensive extreme pole

 

[Mr B shine]

I am interested in this as well.

I would rather buy well than buy twice

 

[bluemonkey]

money no object , extreme is meant to be good, very light and strong,

Something with a deep reach gooseneck for the set back window.

If you buy carbon mix pole you might get a good bend with it if your brush heavy.

Do you have a picture of the window?

Gardiners poles have been raved about for years so I've started buying from them as of TUESDAY hehe and FYI if they're set back 3rd story windows a gooseneck IS needed and Gardiners have some in sale.

Brodex do the 36ft aluminium for around £120ish..

^ If you have only 120ish pounds then ok, but if you can stretch your budget, I would.

Brodex do the 36ft aluminium for around £120ish..

wouldnt that be heavy, but it all depends on how much use he will get out of it, ok for a few times a month, but every day would be a killer

Brodex, why bother. Cheap gardiner one off ebay rather than one of those awful things. Do they even fit inside any van. Lol

 

[Masons]

^My brodex really struggles to fit in my Kangoo. I have the 32ft and it's not comfortable at all, it's ok as I use it once a week max but everyday I'd give up.

Cheers guys thanks for the help.

 

[OoO]

TBH if you are using a pole everyday you should buy the best.

At 400 notes the extreme is a bargain imho.

Thats like less than a weeks work, something like 2 or 3 days. Or half a smurf day.

If an 18 is all you need.

Or you do bungalows

 

[bluemonkey]

i use the first 4 sections on my clx for about 90 % of my work

 

[OoO]

90% of our work can be done with a 18ft extreme.

Then when needed we can add extreme extensions.

People scream i earn £200 a day, £50 an hour, £300 a day, £30 an hour. Blah Blah Blah.

Yet they drive an un sign written van, with a pole that weighs more than sack of spuds and a brush that looks like its cleaned the P&O ferry fifty times and has about 100 bristles left on it.

I cannot understand why people dont invest in equipment if they earn all this "big money"

 

[bluemonkey]

damo, its cost a fortune to run them 6 vans, and stay under the vat level

 

[OoO]

I aint got 6 vans, my company runs only one now /emoticons/wink.png

Damo has a good point, one I'm realising. I'm kitting myself out with new equipment, and now only the best, as it lasts and you get more than your moneys worth out of it.
