Title: How do you guys wfp these houses...
Post by: James Styles on May 07, 2019, 11:51:09 am
How do you get to top windows with wfp on Houses that (usually on the back) have big sticking out conservatory’s or like big arching with the tiles & guttering sticking far out, I’ve found the very difficult to get to, I’ve had to stand on my step ladders fully extend my clx and can only just get them and can’t get a comfortable rinse as I’m having to balance and struggle

Longer pole !

That’s why you need a 25 foot pole. Some awkward houses will need it.

Longer pole as said, but this is why the carbon pole is the better option. As hybrid poles, where each section are fully extended, becomes very flexible and harder to put the brush where you want it to go.

Gardiner xtreme pole with xtreme brush, makes it easy to do these awkward windows.

Of course you also need a long enough pole.

As above. Thats why we all suggested the slx 25 before

I can reach the windows when extended but it’s more an issue of being able to get to the windows from awkward angles/things in the way etc

It's all been said. The only thing more that may help is a swivel attachment on the brush if you cannot stand directly inline with a window.

Yep, swivel needed.

Also if your short a small ladder might help, I'm 6 3" so no issues for me.

i can see you buying a 25ft SLX or xtreme pole in the near future.... ;D....these are the best poles for awkward angle windows(coupled with an xtreme brush on the end).....i also use a fold away step to give me a little extra height on some set back windows....i have a lot on certain parts of my round.....i dont use a swivel though.....
