And I hated it anyway, terrible clamps, crappy fiberglass and aluminum, it sucked. Yay it died! I had an extra Gardiner pole, and I turned it into a really nice pressure washing extension pole: Remove old handle: ![20201117_213614](https://pressurewashingresource.com/community/uploads/default/original/3X/d/0/d010a96c5bdc5f3c202722d21ed7f1ffc043bd8c.jpeg) Buy 30’ of hose ![Screenshot_20201117-215040_Chrome](https://pressurewashingresource.com/community/uploads/default/original/3X/b/5/b59968d142dad3b3c3d59333a90b1b944c1b3ed2.jpeg) Run hose through pole and connect 1/4" QC: ![20201118_122628](https://pressurewashingresource.com/community/uploads/default/original/3X/5/3/537d4539acdb6d08e5d7ddd3c6401c0159aea2dd.jpeg) Added electrical tape to get a firm fit in the clamp: ![20201118_125935](https://pressurewashingresource.com/community/uploads/default/original/3X/e/1/e10ba39a8da5910cd4564cff2ad23a1f6c827a15.jpeg) Here is the QC end assembled: ![20201118_154314](https://pressurewashingresource.com/community/uploads/default/original/3X/3/b/3be4c4ec7ace989ce51c79acba9bc977c7050bf1.jpeg) #7 section pressure fits perfectly into the handle: ![IMG-20201118-WA0011](https://pressurewashingresource.com/community/uploads/default/original/3X/d/3/d3853dbf46d3c78fc68038d3b056d553cb058e44.jpeg) ![IMG-20201118-WA0013](https://pressurewashingresource.com/community/uploads/default/original/3X/e/a/ead68d2cedb67dfc11afeacb4ab6c11125b5bd0e.jpeg) ![20201118_154522](https://pressurewashingresource.com/community/uploads/default/original/3X/5/b/5bd488377632ad3954d7c8e4e59e0b7144b3079b.jpeg) Need a 3/8" to 1/4" reducer: ![20201118_134502](https://pressurewashingresource.com/community/uploads/default/original/3X/8/4/84b2c96b58fdf90216534cdc883423b62ba32a04.jpeg) All connected: ![20201118_154325](https://pressurewashingresource.com/community/uploads/default/original/3X/1/3/132b2e10683db805efd5439911c81050c1ce0e97.jpeg) Gardiner CLX 7 section: ![20201118_154339](https://pressurewashingresource.com/community/uploads/default/original/3X/9/3/9398d2b7ff440295da08223f442490e0cbdd5f75.jpeg) Result is a far superior pole with great clamps and better rigidity. 27’ reach. ![20201118_154243](https://pressurewashingresource.com/community/uploads/default/original/3X/7/3/7386f4731fd579466b1df7f0d7fd01a908ffb551.jpeg) ---

Looks great and im sure will serve you well, definitely superior to the other pole… a little messy with the hose hanging out but I cant think of any better way. For storage are you just wrapping it around the pole like in the first picture? ---

> [@AAPressurewashing00](#): > > For storage are you just wrapping it around the pole like in the first picture? Yes, for now. That’s what I did with the other one, however it was only 18’ and it was over 6’ long so it was less overlap. I think this is about 5’ collapsed, and can reach almost 30’ , so ya, hose management might be more of an issue. If you have any ideas I would love to hear them. ---

I’ve been meaning to put something together like this with my old 30’ SimPole. I’ve had a couple housewash jobs where I needed some extra reach, and/or it was too windy to spray it all from the ground. The nice thing about this setup, is with the 3/8” pressure hose, you should still be able to downstream with it if needed. Most of the storebought “noodles” have too much back pressure to allow ds’ing.
