Storing poles in the van
« on: August 06, 2010, 04:54:08 pm »
Hi guys,

How do you store your poles inside your van? I have a piece of brown sewer pipe in which I can slide my SLX. I have an Excel pole and some Unger extensions/brooms in a rack screwed to the plywood panels, but the screws keep coming loose from the brackets. The sewer pipe works good.

I have another SLX on its way and need to accommodate it and was wondering what you lads do. Might be a good chance to post fotos of the inside of your van... :-)

get some down pipe clipes and screw them to the roof with wood blocks and the slide poles in hope that works

I have a couple of ratchet straps across the back and front of the van and slid them on to them. Cost a couple of quid from poundland, have two vans like this and have work great so far for about 2 years

I approached this as solving the problem of having two poles in use that need to be stowed between jobs and accessed quickly to start a new one.And then having another place to store the longer poles that we don't use very often but need to have with us.
