Title: Dilemma - Which Pole for 3/4 storey?
Post by: spotless2000 on April 01, 2006, 09:05:25 am

Dilemma :-\

I’ve got a few quotes to do next week for 3 & 4 storey residential properties.

Problem  - I will need to purchase a new pole as I’m currently using 6 foot and 20 foot poles from ‘Gardiner Poles’- and they are working well but obviously no good for this height.

I am considering going over to a Carbon pole, mainly for improved rigidity & lightness, for this new work but unfortunately Gardiner’s new Carbon pole won’t be ready in time.

Do I purchase a longer glass fibre pole from Gardiner (38 foot for £181) for the short term (will this be back breaking at this height?) and then change to carbon in the future or should I consider something like the Ergo-lite glass fibre 35 foot at around £500 or the Ergo-lite Carbon fibre at around £800 or is there something else I should be considering?

Your comments on this would really be appreciated?

Thanks

Steve

Hi Daniel

Thanks for the info.

I've had a look at the Eco-Lite poles on the Brodex website.

Any idea what their 35' & 45' foot 'Carbon' poles are like?  I've got a 20' Exel universal 'glass fibre' and that can be quite whippy when fully extended.

Cheers

Steve
