Title: Extreme vs Ultimate?
Post by: sunshine windows on March 14, 2016, 03:16:22 pm
So, whats the difference between these 2 poles at 80-90ft.

Looking to make a purchase and want to make sure I'm getting the right pole.

It'll only be used once every 6 months at that height for around 2 days

Cheers

Well I used the extreme 47 with 3 extention sections on it, insides no problem ....... Outsides well that's a different matter, any wind up around the building takes the pole for a little walk about, it can be a bit scary coz it feels like it's going to snap.

I find myself with the brush push hard against the glass to keep it from moving

So around 65ft working height then Matty?

Sounds like this could be fun.

Cherry picker time me thinks!

You don't need a cherry picker for 60ft just don't pick a windy day and do it early when no ones about.

Is it 60' or 80'-90'?

I would say 60-65ft from the ground is realistic, if it's just the odd window here and there maybe more, but on say a glass front building or similar were there's a lot to do I would then look into a picker.
