I'm looking to buy a stand-alone pole for pole dancing.

The kind that have a base that you weigh down.

I don't suppose anyone has one for sale, or knows anyone who does, or can think of anywhere I could get one besides ebay?

They cost a fortune to buy em new from somewhere like mypole or pleasure poles.

come to think of it ,
i'm living with a pole at the moment.
He's lovely but has a fixation with TESCO.
He's about 5/9 But i haven't tried the swing on him yet.

Cheers but I've tried all those websites already - and it's a pole that has a base and stands alone that I need.

Not the type that fix to the floor and ceiling.

It needs to be portable.

If I was a decent enough magician I could do the Indian rope trick, and use that . . . .

Now looking at the post again . you'd looked at two of them . duh.

Oh well. The kitten pole might be good.
And you can borrow mine if you bring him back.

Uch ! worked too long a shift to be typing.

Seriously though ask your local clubs .

lightbulb !

Why not try looking for an american pole company.

You'd have to pay the weight in shipping but the $2£ ratio could save you 40 to 70 bucks.

Good luck X

Vertical Dance sells freestanding pole stages

£652!? That's appalling considering how basic it looks and the fact that it needs to be weighted.

www.platinumstages.com

I know people have had a few problems with orders in the past but I imagine they've ironed out the shipping problems now. I don't know of anyone that's unhappy with a stage that's been bought from Platinum. I'd have one myself if I had the space.

Cheers Hestia, and they actually have a warehouse in Bristol too, so that'll reduce shipping costs !

I love the way they say in their press blurb that the pole base can also double as a coffee table !

"Why yes vicar, that coffee table IS a pole base - should I put the pole in for you?"

If you need a pole that is portable ie not fixed to your floor and ceiling, why not try an X-Pole. They use pressure on the ceiling joists to stay put, I have one in my bedroom and it's fantastic. Apart from a small dirty mark on the ceiling that wipes off, there are no permenant fixtures and no damage at all. They cost around £150 but I needed an extension cos I have high ceilings, but that was less than £15. I would definately recommend it, and as long as a place has a real ceiling ie not suspended and you have a joist locater, you can use it pretty much where you want. Look at www.verticaldance.co.uk for more details.

can you not find someone to make one for you? surely they can't be that expensive to make?
