That's a good point I've been delaying a purchase of a 40-ft Gardiner pole. Does anyone know if their stock will be limited should we panic buy now?

Poles are usually made in China, carbon fibre cloth usually Korea. Either way it may well cause problems.

The virus can stay on items for maybe an hour, considering it may take a week for stuff to arrive from China , I think we are pretty safe

I dont think he is worried about catching the virus .............just the factories slowing down because of quarantine etc and the supply of poles drying up for a while .
