i dont think anyone makes them but someone on here , electric wfp man Jeff i think made one out of a superlight and something else...?

[Sanity]

I would imagine it would be easier to absail it?

90ft?  God help you if there is a gust of wind.!

[drakestar!]

... what he said.

Seriously though, if a 90ft pole falls on someone it would kill them.
I think if you are using a pole that big it is very irisponsible.

Drakestar,

The biggest ive seen is a 83' Tucker Pole

Although I would suggest that if you've not used anything above 60ft before, seek some advice

thanks thats gonna be a heavy beast! i way hopeing someone did the fishing rod style but i cant see it

Mr Brimble is the man to talk to. He recently achieved 88ft with a lightweight pole. I have also heard recently of a couple of chaps who reached 120ft with a carbonized pole, but they said never again.

The health and safety implications for using a pole at these heights is quite worrying. You would need to put a lot of though into this. If something did go wrong and you hadn't covered all of the relevant issues, not only could people be hurt, but the HSE could fine you and slap you in jail.

[Jeff Brimble]

Drakestar,the parts for a 90ft pole will cost you approx £1k -and a pole will go where cherry pickers fear to tread. Is the job worth it ? but globaly nobody will sell you a "quote 90ft" pole.
Depending on the circumstances I could safely do, or show you how to do  the job with a c/f pole weighing not a lot, for  £xxx per day plus expenses- but its a pity pity Londons so far away

jeff you said you wouldnt travel again  ps still not been paid 

[Jeff Brimble]

Ahh but I heard the streets are paved with GOLD 
Sounds like a 60 day turn round Mick. 

[mick101]

[Jeff Brimble]

  Gr8 a good result. Tell em you want 14/28 days payment or .... else. They are stuck with you now if they want the high work doing again. 
Good of you to pay me cash daily on completion under the circumsatnaces.

[mick101]

allready have done jeff 

[Jeff Brimble]

See you in Windex, thurs ?

[drakestar!]

Thanks Jeff, ill see how things go & get back to you if this comes off! :

[Jeff Brimble]

Cheers, the ref to 100ft is I think that the Emporium was originally designed as a 100ft spec. I aint got there yet till I get a 100ft job.

The technology is available now its just peoples immaginations that are limiting.

Fella`s,I feel I`ve got to come in here and ask a few questions and possibly
Get on the wrong side of some members.Today,most of the day anyway,I`ve
Been using my converted `Venom`fishing pole working at approx.43 feet.
It`s a job I do every 2 months.The general finish was good.ie.no spotting.
What there was,was the spider and insect droppings that just would`nt shift
Because I couldn`t get enough `banjo`with my pole at that height,mainly because
Of the lack of strenth in a fishing pole.I only knew that there was insect remains
There when I went into the building to check the work out.The simple reason being
That I could`nt see from the ground that there some some there in the first place ! ! !
Before I go any further it`s a good job there was`nt any bird mess on that might have
Been there 7 weeks or more.I do wear,and have worn spectacles since I was 7 years old.
That I admit freely! How in blue blazes do you know what is on window glass at
45 feet?? Ya don`t because ya just can`t see,even someone with perfect vision.If
That`s the case,how can ya pole at anything up to 80 feet or more ? ? ? ? ? ? And
Know `hand on heart`you’ve got everything off? If ya can,then all I can say is,
`you’re a better man than I am Gunger Dinn `.Don`t misunderstand and get me all
Wrong,I would`nt want to be without my system,one of the best moves I `ve made
WFP.but I personally,with my experience believe the limitations have been exceded,
And that is totally wrong.The pressure on a brushhead or `pad`at some heights that
Have been talked about must be near zero psi.Also I agree with some members regarding
Health and safety issues.Only a fresh breeze in West Yorkshire today but at 43 feet
My `Venom`was at times bending like Rolf `Harris`s boomerang ! It was a bit `harrowing`.

Working at this kind of height hot water is a must,all those bits of spider marks etc would come off easily with hot water.

[gsw]

what about the "anol" stuff would that do the job at this height and above!?
