Wind damaged extending fibreglass pole<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A few days ago we had a bit of a storm come through which brought down one of my extending fibreglass poles. Sadly I wasn’t home to be able to go out into the garden and take it down and hence I now have a badly broken pole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s quite an old pole and has given me sterling service and so I can’t really complain. This has however, brought forward my decision to get something a little sturdier to hold up my wire creations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going online I finally ordered what I’ve really wanted for some time, a Spiderbeam Spiderpole 12m HD<\/a> extending fibreglass pole. These poles really are much stronger than the cheap, thin walled fibreglass poles I’ve been using and so, should handle the wind somewhat better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will also allow me to get a longer wire into the air as it’s some 3m longer than the poles I’ve been using to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also decided to order a new morse twin paddle key today too. I’ve been looking for some time but, couldn’t decide which key to purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I finally decided to go with the Vine Twin Paddle RST-TP1<\/a> key. It’s quite a heavy lump so shouldn’t wander around the table during use. I’m looking forward to receiving it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
