Title: 22 slx Three storey houses
Post by: stracey on March 29, 2012, 11:38:06 am

We have the full gardiner collect of poles 25SLX every day.

Got to thinking with the mix of work we have would the 22slx
reach the average three storey house?

If so, will get one in the new batch end of this month.
anyone got one? whats it like in use + reach?

Dont just tell me it reachs 26ft, does the 22 slx work on average three storey house? :-*

I use the CLX 22 regularly on 3 storey town houses without a problem, even cleaning third storey over conservatory roof.

Ideal length IMO, Saves having to switch poles so often!

Hope that helps!

Hi Colin Purewater

The reason i have asked is the 25 slx reaches with a few feet to spare, 22slx i think
would reach giving me a lighter pole.

You say 27 clx just reaches, this is because of the increased flex/ bend thus less
height.  The slx's are more rigid with less bend increasing the reach of the user.
 
From the feedback looks like 22slx will be a good light weight pole for our work mix :P

The three storeys being built around here are dormer windows on the roof and not trad 3 stoey townhouses. I have a 24 ft and only just reach them. I am 5 ft 11.

22 would be to small for many new 3 s houses, defo recommend the 27 clx againist the 22 that 4 ft makes a load of difference.

i have a 22ft slx and can reach some 3 storey houses, even some with dromer window, however on todays round i do a large 3 story house which i can't reach with the 22 as the ground in the back garden slopes away from the house. the 22slx is a great pole, its my every day pole, but i do have a 35 slx for anything it can't reach, if you plan on getting only one pole i would go for a longer one, hope this helps
