Hi Trevor

I purchased mine from a company called Carbon Fibre Tubes LTD, the sections are 2m long and you have to have 5 sections minimum, they are great fitting together, obviously very light to use and connect up to all the tools and hose a treat.

Hi Graham

Yes they are tapered so fit nice and secure and very light, mine were 50od, I cannot fault them mate.

I clean to 40 foot so needed more sections than some. I had to purchase minimum 5 sections.

hi graham they sound great  so the sections just fit together  push fit type did you have to have a clamp them like on the alli poles? I have a set of alli but boy o boy are they 1 heavy to use and  2 awkward to stay extended and themn also a pain to pull apart  never forgetting to leave them assembled as the sieze up together were the xcarbon poles expensive if you don't mind me asking

Hi Tony

Yes the ends are tapered so no clamps required or screwing up joints, just a simple push fit.

I have the alloy poles and I know what you mean about seizing up, but they dont get used now, they were ok on straight work, but if you were working

 above 20 foot at any significant angle for some time it became a bit labour intensive.

With these poles I can pull up and be working within a couple of minutes that includes taking vac off van and fitting hose.

Price wise you have to purchase minimum 5 as I said earlier, I got more as I do some high work, but it works out at £54 a section + the inevitable + del,

but for me it has paid off easily. Good company to deal with also.
