Im setting  up a wfp system but not sure what lenght pole to get, i do domestic work mainly 2 story, but quite a few have 3rd story windows and dormer windows, so what lenght pole would it be best to get so that i can reach the higher windows

24 footer would do or even 30 foot

[DaveG]

Yes 24 ft would be plenty

[Sir Squeaky]

I've only got about 25ft of usable pole and I get by fine.

17'xtel

[Sir Squeaky]

17'xtel

Hideously heavy and whippier than an icecream.

I used mine one literally one house and sent it back!

[Clive McDonald]

don't believe you.

You had a 17'?

[Sir Squeaky]

don't believe you.

You had a 17'?

Might have been 21, but can't imagine 4ft would make all the difference/

I would say get two poles, one for 2 story (17/18') and one for 3 story (24').  Using a 24' all day and every day when you only need an 18' is a waste of energy and could cause muscular/skeletal problems

[Clive McDonald]

Yes, as Ian says.

I use a 22'slx, an sl2, and a xtel hybird 34', but the guy didn't ask what i use.

On shorter poles (17') the extra cost of carbon fibre carries little advantage.There is a big difference between a 21' and a 17'.

The 17'xtel is the domestic pole of choice for most window cleaners.If you can stick a gardiners supalite brush mono filament on the end that's about as good as it gets.

30' Slx for me use it all day for everything including skylights.

[sunshine windows]

Only ever used 30' extel hybreds and love them. Reach town house 3 storeys no problems.
