Bamboo Laundry Poles Vs Metal Laundry Poles

Which is better to get? Think the metal poles last longer and are lighter.

i prefer alum-poles. cos so much lighter. plus retractable, so can keep into very short lengths then put into storerm.

I'm just wondering if you put heavy things (comforter etc) will it warp? Heard that from my aunty it will but I find that it's unbelievable since it's made of metal should be quite strong right?

well, if they need to be lightweight, i guess they must be hollow so they may warp. but comforters out of the wash, after spin drying, are not likely to be that heavy until it will warp a metal pole.

i've actually never seen the metal laundry pole before, i stick to the true and tested: the bamboo poles. they're not that heavy either.

aluminium poles are of course hollow !!

... still it stays firm n strong with our loads.

i have used aluminium poles for 5 years... whether sofa covers or bedsheets, no problem.

As long as your bamboo poles are kept away from water, they are lasting, else it can easily break in a few years time.

Metal will be lasting.

Bamboo...

We have been using it for 10 over yrs.... still as reliable...

have been using aluminium for last 3-5 years. will prefer it to bamboo as it's lighter and also retractable - makes for easy storage when u dun need them.

however, i ever had one of them getting 'warped/bent' at the centre portion as we pulled that particular pole to the max and hung too heavy load on the centre portion (too much laundry that time, been lazy, so was our fault)

all in all, i'll still choose alum - works well if used sensibly, not to mention that it looks better too!
