I didn't make it to the Fed show. Anything interesting?

I've heard a little about Peter Fogwills pole and trolley - what's the deal on that? Don't see anything on his website about it.

Peter Fogwills new poles are very impressive.Stronger than fishing poles and a complete new concept in raising and lowering the pole from height.Will take
Practise but its something for the future I`m sure.The added bonus is they can be
Locked at height when working.

i tried peters pole today it can take a bit of getting used to but is pretty good it was mentioned it can be locked at height this is done by holding the feed pipe and i think this could be improved on by a fixing clamp, also the brush tends to spin when moving from window to window which can be a bit of a pain but this is something peter knows about and already has a way of fixing on the next model , when he demonstrated it he sort of extends the pole by throwing it up (which is the only way i can think of describing it) but i found the best way of extending the pole was to push the feed pipe . the pole is brilliant to handle and and manouvre and because it is only about 4ft long when not extended is much easier to carry about with the trolley it still needs a bit of work but this could be the way to go . ps the pole is very light and extremely sturdy .

Sounds interesting...any chance of some pics?

From what I understand of your posts you extend it by pushing the internal feed pipe through the pole? and then to lower it I guess you'd pull the feed pipe back out?

Or is that not it?

I have done a bit of video footage of the pole and I will post a link very shortly.
Like Trevor says you sort of throw it up, and it is held in position by the feed hose.
To lower you let the feed hose slide through your fingers controlling it on the way down.

hi Peter i have just tried to call you, can you mail me more info about the pole and the brush that comes with it ( weight, cost, etc...) thank you   

[Peter Fogwill]

There is some footage of my pole at my window-tools site under the heading of "What percentage at what height?" in the water fed pole section.  I would have posted the link here but I don't think it is allowed?

Peter,

I'm really interested in your pole:

this sounds great (from your website):

Comes complete with pole hose and Autobrush.
Brush sizes available 9" 12" or 15".
The fastest pole you will ever use.
No clamps needing renewed, or breaking.
It goes up and down in seconds.
Light as a feather, you can lift and use with one hand.
Time saving with the pole, and water saving with the Autobrush

But the link didn't work!

I'm sure you can post one here; loads of other suppliers have; so I'd love to see it.

when he demonstrated it he sort of extends the pole by throwing it up

A pop up pole that would be great 

Just downloading the video to have a look

Well here goes, if it's not allowed I will soon find out. http://www.window-tools.com/images/newpole.asf I will try and reduce the size of the file so that it loads quicker. 

The first part of the clip is just to show how you can put it up conventionally, it can be put to any size this way and then extended, or just put up the way it shows in the next part.

The download works, it took over three minutes.
I didn't really understand what I was watching. How did you put the pole up, it seemed to go up itself, and then when you wanted it to it concertined down.
How much is a pole like this?
Would it be rigid enought to go over conservatories?

It has been described as shunted up, and also as pushed up.  Watch the arm movement.  It takes a few minutes practice to master but it is easy, even my 12 year old boy can do it.  The hose is held to keep it in position while extended, and the hose is released to lower it.  As it is so easy to put up and lower down it means that you can lower it more often instead of wrestling with clothes lines and trees.  It can even be extended up through a gap in tree branches.  While I am at it the other advantages are one pole does bottoms and tops, with no need to add sections for conservatory roofs.  Goes in the back of a small van, and is easy to carry around.

It is rigid enough to go over conservatories.

Revolutionary!

Can see that would be a lot quicker! How much are they? and what lengths do they come in?

[Peter Fogwill]

Mike, I will be selling the pole plus Autobrush fitted for £159.50, but only a certain amount at that price to get some feedback etc on them.  The mark 2 when available will be priced accordingly depending on manufacturing costs and demand.

If you mean the mark2 probably a couple of months.  If you mean the ones I do now like on the video, they will be two weeks.

Interesting. But you could clean it in less than half the time using a squeegee!!

Not quite as safely, or as thoroughly.

I'd like to see a video of that.
