A few years ago I bought a very good ground spike for a rotary clothes
line. The 'ground' bit of the spike was like a huge screw and the whole thing came with a torsion bar for screwing it into the soil. It was a good bit of kit and far superior to the 'hammer it into the ground' variety. I've recently moved house and had to leave the spike behind and I want to find an identical model but a prolonged search of Google plus all the usual suspects (Screwfix, machineMart etc) has drawn a blank. Does anyone know a source? T.I.A. |

Yebbut those tend to have just a ring at the top of the screw for tying the dog lead to: difficult to mount a clothes airer to that! David |
