Post by: Norman & Sons Window & Gutter Cleaning on April 02, 2019, 11:44:42 am: 25ft Extreme as an everyday pole, will do 80% of most jobs, IE: normal Houses, over Conservatories & 3 story property's,
then 47ft Extreme for anything higher and solar panels,
and 10 CLX for Bungalows and tight spaces

Post by: NWH on April 02, 2019, 01:00:51 pm: I use 22 and 25ft but the 22 gets a lot more than you’d think,I can get a lot of 3rd floor stuff and lower level velux Windows with it too.
You’ll get another 2ft fully extended at shoulder height,great poles.

4 sections hardly any heavier than an Xtreme 18 but 2ft longer.

Back up is an Xtreme 47.

Post by: Stoots on April 02, 2019, 05:03:22 pm: 25.

But I'd rather use my slx 18 as an everyday pole, similar weight and last longer.

If I wanted to use one everyday I'd get an 18.

O my downside to the 25 is it's pretty long closed and can be a bit cumbersome in tight areas.

Post by: robbo333 on April 02, 2019, 06:30:10 pm: 22 for me with 2 extensions (which I very rarely add).
With the 22, I can get to 3 floors if it's fairly straight up and not set too far back.
Good closed length.

Post by: johnny bravo on April 02, 2019, 11:33:19 pm: ordered the 18, then after a bit of thinking I phoned up and changed to the 22, you have to wait a few days for it to be processed. for delivery she said, that little extra when needed,

Post by: Gringo on April 03, 2019, 04:42:02 pm: 18 for me does 95% of round 35slx for rest
Title: Re: Gardiners Extreme Pole
Post by: Michael Peterson on April 03, 2019, 05:04:46 pm: you have made the right choice, 18's are lovely to use, however there has been the odd occasion where I just wanted that little bit more reach that a 22 would give
Title: Re: Gardiners Extreme Pole
Post by: Jonny 87 on April 03, 2019, 05:22:27 pm: I have a 22 and a 47.

Wish I’d bought a 25. It is two years old though, so I’m due a new one soon.

For me an 18, a 25, and a 47 is the perfect combo.

I have some days that an 18 will reach everything. Some days the 25 is needed for a few houses, and the 47 gets used for some sky lights and 4 storey stuff.

Post by: windowswashed on April 03, 2019, 06:38:43 pm: 25 and 45 and cut down a 22 that had three snapped sections and mixed it with slx short lengths to make a 15ft which is ideal for bungalows with the odd dormer
