How many poles do you carry in your van and what sizes are they all?
the reason i ask is because im getting
1 x 27 ft reach 4 section telescopic fibreglass pole with VIKAN brush
                                              and                                                                                                                                   1 x 4 ft 2 section pole complete with VIKAN brush for low level cleaning

didnt know if it was worth changing the 27 ft to a 30ft and getting a 18 ft aswel

Must be a couple of thousand poles where i live.

[Mr H]

1 x 2 section 12ft fibreglass Extender
1 X 22 ft Carbon fibre
1 x 32 ft Fibreglass
1 x 60ft SL2 but have extra base sections so can go a bit higher if needed

The 32ft pole will be replaced with a carbonfibre one when it needs replacing. Got it when I started as couldn't afford a carbon 1 back then....

yeah but they're not all in your van - although they probably arrived in the back of someone else's van!!

[jaykie]

Only 3 people use poles so does that mean everyone else is trad then.

Worn out 12' extender for conservatory cleans, twenty five ish foot fishing pole with spare sections (on it's last legs) and a thirty five foot Superlight (Sunday best pole only) for three storey and above. Will reduce this to two poles only eventually - SL-X and a Superlight

1 X 2 M unger style ( cleanteh own ali ) pole
1 X 6 M unger style ( cleanteh own ali ) pole
1 X 9 M unger ali pole

1 X RT fishing pole converted, this is what i ue all the time now, the other poles are just in the van for spares , of course the 9 M unger is used for higher work, sure its whippy and heavier ( though i tested the superlight and it wasnt far off the wieght of the unger )

[groundhog]

18' Brodex Predator (crap)
25' Brodex Predator (crap)
36' Brodex Tree Trunk Pole! (Double crap)


My next pole is going to be a decent one, possibly a 44' facelift, or maybe the new Gardiner one.

Actually the predator poles are quite nice to use, but they deteriorate very quickly!

My superlite2
and a 4ft peewee for the downs.   

[JSMC]

i will have a 17ft xtel, 34ft xtel hybrid, pulex 3x2m telescopic pole. this i reckon should cover me for most jobs. Oh aye i also have a wooden pole for attaching applicator to for just run of the mill jobs

[pjulk]

For me i carry 4 poles.

2ftx2ft omnipole minipole.
15ft glassfibre pole
3 section x 2.5 mtr unger teleplus pole converted to WFP
24ft powerpole sometimes 36ft powerpole depending on work


And which one do i prefer.
Its got to be the unger pole

I used to carry about 6-7 poles for a two man vehicle, now we carry the following for each two-man vehicle:

1x 13ft X-Tel glass fibre pole.
1x 25ft carbon fibre pole (SL-X)
1 or 2 Super-Lite pole assembly.

Alex what do you do when it is high winds?

You cant use superlite above 35ft on windy days.
