Title: Pole storage
Post by: Stephen burton on July 27, 2017, 05:38:19 pm
I would ideally like my poles to be up high in the back of my van at the moment they just lay on the floor and it looks so untidy I have a Citroen dispatch 2013 what's the best thing to use and also something fairly easy to fix to the roof that's not to flimsy cheers

Ive attached a piece od wood that fits on the bulkhead and a piece of wood going across the back of the van fitted with brackets. Ive laid D Shape guttering, which the poles slide into.  Nice n easy

i use standard square downpipe guttering for individual poles, if you want more poles together just use drainage pipe.

That's best, but as Daz has a lease vehicle he wouldn't want to cause unnecessary damage that he will have to rectify at the end of the lease when the van goes back to the finance house.

I have my own van not leased and I do as daz says,  it's easy enough and does the job.  I have 7 soil pipes all connected up to roof on right side of hose reel, which is fitted through roof
