Chris, for your routine two-storey work, you'll love the Zensorflex; the sections are an ideal size; they're easy to put on remove to increase or decrease the size of the pole (no clamps, worn poles, 'slidey' sections or 'swivelly' brush heads).

I'm cross I didn't do this two-years-ago when I first read about it.  Maybe I just didn't believe something so cheap could be so good. 

But, it's easy to do; it takes about fifteen minutes; and if you have the work that warrants an off-the-shelf light-weight pole, get one, and keep it for 'best'.

Use the cheap DIY pole for bashing about your routine two-storey work.

Tosh, will you do a vid, I've read your threads, seen the pics, I even understand the way to do it!
What I am having trouble with is the actual :Working with it"
I mean do you have to take the brush of each time to "Add" lengths?
I must be thicK!
Ok the tubing's on the outside no problem, i could live with that!
Everyone seems to be doing it, so it must be me... can you help?

I have just finished a harris pole, which was easy (pipe inside) nice easy job!
so why can't I get this concept? 

No the section that you cut down, and modify to get your polebrush head extender on in order to screw onto your brush is the same piece and you use that bit for all work. You then build up your pole from the larger sections as you need them at your jobs.

Guys, I am really interested in this for over long extentions and conservatories. However, I did DIY a fishing pole from Aldi and on the very first window - nearly horizontal, the bottom section split and rendered the whole thing useless. That put me off a bit.

Are these any use for this kind of work?

Yes, they are; start off with the Ron Thompson Zensorflex; it's cheap to do, I use that for stuff over conservatories.

Maybe the Aldi pole wasn't strong enough, the the Zensorflex is.

I would say the glass fibre zensorflex is the strongest/cheapest modular pole on the market.

I've been using mine for a month now, and I've really abused it (I've two of them, so I'm not frightened to break a section since I've got spare); I can push and slap windows shut and bash it about.

Awkward angles are great also; no problems.

It's a corking bit of kit.

Trotski,

I can't do a vid, I haven't got a cam-corder thingy; and even if I did; I wouldn't know how to upload the video thing.

Just get a DIY pole, if you want to, and have a go.  If you don't like it, you haven't lost much; but it's not difficult to work out how to do it.

Regards,

I have just been out in the shed to get my pole out!
It's a second hand 8m20  Amiral h.garbolino, anyhow...

This was doing my head in!
Because the pole pieces are "tapered" I just could not understand how you put the smaller section into the larger one, they are designed to slide "up inside" the other are they not?
You're placing them in from the top, unless I had tried it I would not have believed it possible... thick err!
Well as someone once said... I see the light!
Thanks to one and all, I can now follow the threads again!
Just one question?
why the tape?
mine seem to not need it!

you can slide it over the top, as my site above, i use a bit of unger pole and a brush adaptor ( works out a similar price as the way tosh does it )

the tape is to stop the pole going too far inside the other bit, which is then VERY hard to pull out
