955i Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Hi all, anyone know where to get cheap hide poles or something that will serve as such in the Notts/Derby area? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nial Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I got some clothes props in Asda for < £3, but had to go to one of the bigger stores. They're pretty sturdy with what looks like a fairly robust twist lock adjustment. The only downside is that they are quite long and there's no spike on the bottom. I'm probbaly going to bash the bottom flat, cut off at an angle and weld the edges to form a point. They're steel so a bit heavier than custom aluminium hide poles, but not too bad. Nial.

Tommo Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Castle Stores at Stoney Stratford, £2.50 clothes prop's in black with locking nut thingy to adjust height, green plasic coating, had to spray the inner shaft black - took two mins and now have the cheapest hide poles going - and when l looked at the hide poles being sold at the Game Fair they were exactly the same - only the bottoms had been crimped and welded, with a foot peg added! they were £15 each! Little gem like that make you smile when you see lads in the gunshop buying all the top range expensive kit! T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
