Title: What size pole would be required here
Post by: TomSE on April 29, 2013, 11:01:55 pm

Hi fellas, just looking into getting a new pole as mine is only around 18ft.
 
I have recently got quite a few jobs similar to the picture below which is just from google. What size pole, assuming it was a fairly rigid carbon fibre such as gardiners/pheonix would be required to clean the window above the conservatory without going at it from the side and instead having to go completely over the conservatory. (So assuming the con went right across the back of the house) Sorry if I havn't explained this well!

I do a semi with a conservatory across the back.
It sits out to far for me to do the windows from the ground using any length of pole
Can get one window from the side using a 22 and get the other from
the neighbours back garden.
First asked the neighbour would they mind and they where o.k. with it.

it can also depend on your height
i would get that with my 18ft clx and a goose neck
but 22 would or should suffice

You dont need a carbon goose neck IMHO i prefer to use a resi-neck very quick and easy to adjust for all situations . Mike
