Title: Harris pole extension ???
Post by: MNWC on June 05, 2009, 07:11:57 pm
Does any one know how to extend a harris pole  ???

I made the pole up today and i have to say im impressed with its rigidity and lightness

It would be ideal if you could extend it to say 24/ 25 foot

any ideas ??

Its all on Matts diy forum, a no1 section Unger telepole  fits into the top section of the harris and a no 4 or 5 section fits onto the base of the Harris.

Put a screw driver through the hole, get someone to hold the pole and you twist the screwdriver.

take the plastic off the base and you can put 2 harris poles together for the odd job.

in a bucket of hot water (melts the glue), and as said put a long screwdriver through the hole, stand on it and twist whilst pulling.

the small first section goes inside the last fat one. you just put your hose through the old pole as long as you have a quick connector or something as thin . so you get 2 more sections not three . hope that makes sense.
