Title: What pole lengths
Post by: nick333 on August 16, 2013, 09:00:41 am

Looking to move from trad to wfp and would appreciate some advice from those already in the 21st century.
80% of my work is single story houses and shops with a few two storey houses and commercials upto about 30 feet.
Like the look of the Gardiner poles and was thinking CLX10 for the bulk of my work and maybe a clx27 with a number 7 extension for the taller stuff.  Am I thinking along the right lines?

thanks

the clx 10 wont be long enough your better off going for an 18'

Clx  27 far too bendy
Def no extensions

I like the SLX22. It's short enough closed length to work up close bungalows and connies round the side and long enough to reach over conny and extension roofs to get to awkward first floor windows

I trad my bungalows, its just my choice as i like to still do a bit of trad work however depending on what sort of setup your going to start with van system trolley or backpack etc.. it may be worth while if a trolley or back pack to do them trad to save on the water!

just a thought..

it is indeed fine for bungalows, but the 18s are so light and small, you would be better off with this pole in my opinion that way it will do most of your houses as well, i use an 18 nearly all day everyday have longer poles in the van for the occasional one
