Title: thinking of getting a modular super lite pole by gardiner wot do you think
Post by: baxey cleaning on May 15, 2009, 06:20:53 pm
I need a pole that goes up to 60ft, and was thinking of getting a super lite modular pole by gardiner

What do you think, yes or no??

Does anyone have one, or is there any better one out there??

Thanks

If Carlsburg made modular carbon poles...............
 it still wouldn't be as good as an SL2..  ;D

Very good pole at that height, BUT be very cautious on windy days that the wind doesn't take hold of your brush and fly it like a kite. The strongest, most practical, modular pole at that height on the market so far. I put a swivel brush on the end of my pole and lean it into the wind on gusty days so if the wind takes hold I have a momentary warning to catch it before the wind takes hold.

I am loving mine, great for long runs of high windows, lighter than anything used before, just awkward if only needed for a few windows as the put up and take down times are a little slow, unless you want to risk damaging sections as they are sooo light.

Excellent pole!

I know what you mean, I can hold the pole up with my left hand and remove a section with my right, but if there's no convenient hedge to drop the spare section on it has to go on the floor.
As stated above, great pole.

Same as me, I use the hedge as a safe storage point for my sections as well.
