Lidl "Screw-in Pole Stand".
A thing that goes into the ground, for holding up clothes airers,
etc: http://www.lidl.co.uk/uk/home.nsf/pa...ole_Stand.ar10 Has anyone used them, if so are they reasonably robust What's the internal diameter?? Lidl have revised their web-site so that you can put in your post-code/area, and all the "regional offers" that don't apply are filteres out. Well Done! |

The message
from Chris Bacon contains these words: Has anyone used them, if so are they reasonably robust What's the internal diameter?? I've got one. It's ... OK. Mine's holding up the washing line for the time beind 'cos I'm still moving things round the garden. It screwed down into the soil easily, but since it's right by the path it's screwed into gravel/sand. When it hit the clay it stopped dead and in effect stripped the threads in the sand. I suspect if I were to try harder it'd be OK. Despite all that, it's holding up the pole adequately. Diameter, they supply collars that shrink it down in steps from a maxiumum of 60mm. -- Skipweasel Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. |

Excellent, thank you Mr. King. They'll take the "trunks" of some small sawn off ash trees, then (for want of a better sort of dowel). |

Depends how much leaning they'll have to endure. They're cast metal and seem quite solid. -- Skipweasel Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. |

Comes with 5 collars to fit different diameters so it shouldn't matter. -- Dave The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk 01634 717930 07850 597257 |

Some people apparently use them for outdoor show stands. Here today - gone by mid morning. |
