I need to get a 60ft pole for employees to use so it needs to be hard waring cheapish but also good to use , if i was buying for myself i would go down the gardiners route but i dont wanna spend £1500 to get told next week that the really big pole has snapped!!
advice please:-)

If your employees were able to snap a Super-Max61ft pole they would be extremely clumsy and strong ;D We have yet to have one of these poles snap on a client. I think that you probably are thinking about Super-Lite modular poles which have much thinner walls and do need treating with much more care than the standard telescopic poles.

I've got one of these, pretty heavy but well worth £400.
I'm using mine at 6am tomorrow morning, I hope that it's cold, wet and windy so that I can get added enjoyment from the experience.

Gardiners Super-Max would be the right one for you. :)

Unfortunately it is not that simple. The 60ft Super-Max is made from different grade carbon fibre (High-Modulus 63.3MSI) to the standard Super-Max range for increased rigidity at these heights. Also the Super-Max61 sections are much longer so adding the two extra sections ( 9 & 10) would only make the pole 57ft.

I have a lovely Ionics E3 carbon fibre 60ft, which I will be using tomorrow in Wallingford, I too hope its wet and windy, I will go all that bit faster and get done early - even though its a whole day for three men!
My advice would be for somebody to buy my 60ft Ionics E3 - it looks brand new as it has only been used by professionals ;D
Once sold it would give me an excuse to buy the superior by far, the gardiners Super Lite Xtreme with all the extensions, all the way up to 78ft! Dobson would love that!

I am sure I will be buying the Gardiners pole soon anyway and the ionics E3 carbon fibre will sit in the garage going old and mouldy hoping to be used again one day................
I am just waiting for Alex to make me an offer that I can't refuse ;D

Set off at 5 am - worked hard all day and the last ten minutes the heavens opened and soaked me to the skin :o
Just got home - time for a hot bath I think.
