those have a swayged end so are modular, if you just looking to get cheap vac poles you could bye the ali tube from a supplier like Smiths metals - they would cut them into 1 or 2 meter lengths - get the clamps froma hardware store and you could have 50 ft of pipe for less than 50 quid

thats a lot .
you could always do as i have today and tap both the poles with a tap and die set and then use bolts to secure them together
