Title: 3 storie houses
Post by: Ste M on February 03, 2010, 12:49:19 am

What size pole is best for 3 storie houses? i want to get a new pole soon and i dont want to buy the wrong size, id sooner get a good SLX or if someone can recommend me another type (not a fishing rod though, no offence intended ;D)

I bought 25ft, and whilst its done me well, it could do with being a few ft longer for some of my houses, as I end up on tiptoes!!

Just ordered a 36ft, so won't have any worries.

hello mate,

it might be worth you taking a trip to Brodex as they are based near you and have a look at their poles,     its a pity as a few months ago Brodex were doing a deal if you had them come and give you a system demo you got a free pole.        you could give them a ring and see if they will still do that

better to have a section to spare, you may have access problems so need a bit more length (dont we all)

xtel poles are v heavy. I've a 35' hybrid.  I'd buy an slx if i wanted a telescopic that was light,

Modular poles are ridiculously light, and u never want to work at that height with a heavy telescopic again!
