You mean modular or telescopic (as title)

Modular, I've just got a gardiner super-lite modular & although I'll not use it at 60ft 'till next week I used it at about 40ft last week & it's so much lighter than a telescopic pole but more hassle too.

I'll use it for the higher jobs that my SLX won't reach, which is only a small % of my overall work.

I've used a carbon facelift telescopic at 44ft which isn't easy & to be honest I wouldn't want to use one above that height. Even at 44ft (actual approx 40ft) can only be done in small stints because of it's weight & flexability.

Hope that helps ;)

I use various poles, I have a 15' glass fibre which is excellent and light, this I use mostly on fronts and when I need to go though the house to get to the back with my backpack.

I will be ordering a 18' brodex hydra 3y pole which should cover the majority of my domestic work.

I also have a slx for those windows that are between 21' and 40' high.

I then use the sl2 for any work over 40' and I am still looking for the 100' window to have a go on.
