DMS was asked by numerous clients for an alternative material as existing stainless-steel units were being stolen for scrap and the replacement cost became excessive.
We tried numerous materials, including wood and PVC but they were either too heavy or flexible in high winds, allowing for the bucket to sway from side to side.
During lock down in 2020, we started researching the use of fibreglass and developed moulds until we achieved an acceptable bucket holder design and paired it with a grey 50 mm x 2.7mm fibre stand.
The cost of the fibre pole is similar to that of mild steel, but the chance of theft has been significantly reduced.
