Get three 6 foot 4 ones to stand on eachothers shoulders. I'm sure they will do a good job. Just make sure they have not been on the ol' Tyskie.

 Dazmond, haven't you only recently gone over to wfp?

 If so, how do you know these are the best poles out there for domestic? Surely you haven't tried all the poles on the market all ready?

 I swear by the ally brodex poles, yes the clamps have come unglued, but the pole won't wear out in 4 months like all the poles for the price do. and yes, I have been through alot of the cheaper end of the market poles.

  I know i will now get all the weight comments, but I like the brodex, perhaps I am just strong and fit enough to use it all day!

  Working smart to me is knowing that my pole will see the day out without pratting around repairing it.

  Thats why I also have a leased van that is changed regularly, it maybe the slightly more expensive option, that is until an older van goes wrong and costs me lost time and repair costs, the pole is along the same lines, it has no problems and does the job it is for.
