bigman Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 I'm looking for some descent tall hide poles , I have some cheap ones and every time I go out I seem to loose a bit or break them , I like the idea of standing in the hide rather than sitting but being 6ft 7 I need some that extended more than the cheapish ones I currently have , Any recomendations? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilR Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Wilkinsons do washing line props for a couple of quid that extend taller than normal hide poles. My were a very fetching cream colour until I sprayed them green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) The Wilkinson ones are £3:00 each. I use them for taking mates out as they are a little heavier than the poles I usually use. They extend to about 8 feet long so Bigman will have no problem other than carrying enough camo netting!

mudpatten Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Take a spade with you. No need to buy longer poles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bakerboy Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) Buy the tall electric fence /paddock posts. Good spikes, foot plates to push into the ground 1.5 metres tall with lots of hooks to secure the netting. All this for £2.00 each from post agricultral shops.

A little bendy but take a stealth net or two.... Add support with tent poles and bungees bombproof! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tignme Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Bigman, check the inside size of your existing poles and buy a same size but longer alu pole to fit inside as exrtra poles,they just need camoed. I have 8 poles to form circle type hide and carry 8extra long inserts to extend height for different circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Richo Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Stay away from the Jack pyke ones bought them and used them twice and threw them away the threads on the thumb screws are plastic and cross thread. Just ordered the twist lock ones on offer for £25 from A1 decoys hope these are better quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
