Thu Nov 30, 2006 9:28 am (PST) Can any one tell me where I can buy a Barge Pole. I am based in the South-east and all I can find is pine "stair hand rails". These are not really suitable as I understand pine can snap under load and any way have a flat on one side. Paul NB Upacreakwithoutabargepole We use a 4.5m stair hand rail on Fulbourne, we abused it horribly for many years before we managed to break it and even then we managed to repair it using 'no more nails' and it still gives us good service. Regular(ish) painting should stop it warping Helps if you can find a canalside timber merchant to get it from, we had to carry ours 'native style' through the streets of St Pancras!
