And as the oil field types move from field to field, so does the pipe
that comes apart easily for a move.

Of course the dryer is vented outside.
But a lot of waste heat doesn't go up the vent.

And with 100+ temperatures outside (typical warm Texas afternoon)
a little extra heat inside is really noticeable.

Roughly, where in Texas are you located?

Hi R^3

Just east of Dallas.
Right between Plano and Mesquite.

That'd be a bit far to dig/pick up a pair of poles - about 275 miles each
way - and the fuel cost would be quite a bit higher than finding a good
weldor with an old joint of 4" pipe and a small amount of light plate to
seal the ends.

I'm in Wharton, half-way between Houston and Victoria on US-59. G

I'd still recommend the 4" since you (or somebody) just might want to
suspend something heavy from one of the "arms". G

BTDT.

FWIW, the clear plastic-coated aircraft cable makes a good, taught,
clothesline when used with turnbuclkes and - when not in use for drying
"stuff" - can also double nicely as a dog run. VBG

Do make sure that the poles are spaced as far apart as you (or somebody)
is willing to let them be since the greater the distance the more that
the lines can hold.

BTW, good, taught, cable lines can also support tarps/plant fabric for a
sunshade, too!

Ah well, thanks for the thought.

All the "T"s I've seen on the net are flimsy little things.

I'll check the local machine shops.

Thnx.

Lots of clotheslines around here in the desert.

Most of them are made from 3 pieces of 2" pipe threaded into a T
coupling.

Course...2" pipe is pretty common here in the oil fields..........
