Title: Pole holders? What's the correct name?
Post by: Klean07 on January 16, 2017, 08:22:54 am

I've been on the usual suppliers websites looking for van pole holders ( a bracket or similar to store my poles in my van) but doesn't come up with anything so does anyone know the proper name of these?

Pole rack.  A local fabrication business could build and fit you one to suit your needs.

soil pipes from b and q do a good job(fixed to roof of van with thick cable ties).cost you around £35.had mine in my van for 2 and a half years.(i have 2 and i can fit 2 poles in each holder.)

Or a piece of guttering, i use the D Type, not the curve type guttering and its a fraction cheaper than soil pipe

The clamp is called a munsen ring

You will need some threaded rod cut to the length you need.

Better to use munsen rings as have rubber insert to help protect the poles methinks

Thanks Smurf. The only thing I ever learnt in Chemistry was what a Bunsen burner did. The rest didn't make sense. So to remember Munsen is easy.  ;D
