3 sections x 5 or 6 foot sections = 15 - 18 foot pole i believe,probably 15 foot looking at it  :-\

Cheers lads.

In that case, when I upgrade to a CLX, i will go for the 22ft for everyday normal use then.

I'd go for the 22clx mate or if you can afford it the slx - I've had a 18clx for the last year and it's been great but I wish I'd bought the 22/27 or slx

To be honest bud, ive only been wfp for 3 weeks. Im not using it on every job, and mainly I just use it for tops, so cant really justify spending £300 odd quid on a pole, when the one in the picture is manageable.

I dont mind spending £150 on a pole to see what all the fuss is about.

Are you going to spend £150 on the pole in the picture?

The CLX will feel like an SLX compared to that FG jobbie, my 1st pole was a brodex fg a lot like that and coincidently cost me £150.

In my opinion I would get the 27 clx there is not a conservatory I can't get over with mine but on a few occasions it is fully extended

that pole looks to me to be 18ft just under maybe  :-\

I would go for a clx 27ft these are the pole my guys use day in day out and hit all three floors without messing about getting another pole out the van

If you went for a 22 SLX with a gardiners brush you would really notice the difference and would make you a little bit quicker too.

Convert the yellow best into a connie roof pole with fitment to outside taps.

If budget wont stretch to a SLX then a CLX would be better but would advise you to save a little longer till you can get the CLX
