Hi,

I am seeking a very long pole (scaffold even) to fix a washing line
on. I am aware that b and q and homebase and argos and maybe even
wilkinson supply poles, but those are too short.

I require one that is maybe 8 metres or more in length. I want the
washing up out of the way!

I will try, if I can find one, an independent diy shop, however, does
anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Ring round your local scaffolders. I had 2 x 6m galvanised poles for 15
quid (delivered). Mind you, all the pulleys, guide ropes etc for the
actual line, and hire of a 2 man post hole borer + 2m bit cost a fair
bit more :-)

In the interests of your edification ...

That sort of pole has a proper name and around this way it is called a
promp. My grandad told me about an old boy called Prompo who used to
sell washing promps around the streets of Norwich for a living and got
irate with women if they wouldnt buy one

Edification over. Where is Prompo when you need him?

2.2 meters is enough. 3 meters is more than enough.

Eight meters is rather high - rather higher than our house!

However, our local timber yard sells proper one-piece washing poles, not
those silly jointed things Wilkinsons sell.

Failing that, your local steel stockists.

Our 6m poles have approx 1.5m underground. I look around the various
gardens at the back of the house, and this height seems to be about the
norm with a fair few of the neighbours.

SWMBO was insistent that I put them up and is adamant that the washing
dries a lot quicker "up there". I guess that above the fence line etc it
probably is a bit windier.

You *will* need those various pulleys and ropes though.

Apparantly so but are you sure you are replying to the correct newsgroup!!
