Whereabouts are you? Anywhere near North Shropshire? I have one metal one that you can have as I got given two from Freecycle but only needed one, and still have the spare one lurking in the back garden.

afraid not BH but thank you v much for the offer.

b&q sell them not sure about on line though

Old fashioned hardware store.

Thank you ladies

I am one sad, sad lady! When we moved to this house, there was a old stair hand rail in the shed, I was over the moon and stuck a nail in the top, it makes the best ever washing pole, as it will never break (I hope) and it is longer than the average washing line pole. Perfect.

we have wooden ones, this sort of thing er, well, ish.
mine actually came from poundstretcher/Instore, thus were ridiculously cheap

I suspect what I actually need are posts. <scottish > I have two fab line props from argos and some fab multi peg hangers from instore.

Back to b&Q again bah!

cool, have a look and see what is cheaper a hand rail (with a nail in it) or a washing line prop.

Jealous of hand rail.

I need the things to tie the line to.

They are currently tied to a tree and a fence!

ah-haaaaa. i see. the good old 'lost in translation' thing

so you mean this type of thing?

is it haggis proof though

They look awfy complicated. My granny had painted ones with four peg bits for wrapping the line round so it wouldn't slip.

Garden is haggis free due to being flat, as they have one set of legs longer than the other they cannot traverse the grass.

cool, I am sorry, I got the wrong end of the stick!
I wonder if it would be better for you to get a retractable washing line which can be attached to the wall one end and hooked on something the other END.

we have a big metal thing (stuck way way down into the ground) with four prongs /branches on the top too. yes i did think that the link one looked over complicated too.

Glad to hear your garden is a haggis free zone. I hear they can be a nightmare if they take a liking to your clean washing [norty GW had children mortified haggis-hunting in the Galloway forest a few weeks ago!]

Wouldn't work I,m afraid Donovan, garden on two (flat) levels. I would be back to fixing it on the fence which is creaking ominously with a heavy load out .

<snort> at haggi <pedant> hunting.
