What pole size do I need for this building? (Picture)
« on: December 04, 2007, 04:14:36 pm »
Just wondering, thinking about checking if they want them doing, quite a big school, but really dirty windows. Switching to wfp early next year, and this is sorta the highest I'll most likely get anyway in this area.

So how long would my pole need to be?

Thank you.

Around about the 28 - 30 ft mark I reckon.

The doorway to the right won't be higher than 6 1/2 feet.
I reckon it's 27 feet to the gutters.
Still it's good to keep gqc on his toes.  ;D

Hahaha nice one Mark. ;D

Isn't too bad then, shouldn't be too expensive to buy one then, still thinking about getting a CF 44ft and be done with pretty much every building lol.

Can anyone post a picture, of what can be reached with a 44fp pole, and a pic for what can be reached with a 60ft? Just to get an idea.

Thank you,

Tim

You could probably just reach with a 24ft, but a 28ft would be easier.

That's great, I might go with the 34ft Xtel Hybrid, perhaps if I'm ever rich enough I might go with a Facelift 44ft or so. :)

Buy a 34ft or 44ft facelift,you`ll save more money in the end if you buy a 44 footer.I`ve had my 24ft carbon facelift for over a year and it`s as the day i got it.

all ways try and get a pole bigger than you need as you can allways use it for other new jobs you may go for rather than going for a 24ft and just being able to do the job in the pic, then having to quote for another job just that bit higher than that one and needing a new pole again , i would also say get the lightest pole yon can get once you start going over 30 to 35 ft                     marc

Don`t get confused in the past like i have by thinking just because it`s lighter it`s better,it`s not the case trust me.Some carbon fiber telescopics feel lighter the higher you go with them,and they`ll last a hell of a lot longer if you look after them.
