Anyone make their own washing line from scratch?

[momtoone]

I was thinking of the one my mum had in her old house, you know, 2 concrete posts with the line in between so the clothes can blow around and dry quick. Currently we string the line from fence to fence but it blocks the view. A concrete post is prob out of question, has anyone had any sucess with metal or wooden poles with line in between (Not interested in the rotary/retractable type - not yet anyway!)

yes you can get long poles in wickes, just cement them in

I did a pole and cement jobby here too.

the guy who used to live here did mine

one end attaches to the house... the other is a post cemented in to the ground

Have you had any luck making one.? X

concrete posts!?

I thought this thread was pleading for tips on weaving jute and coir and finding suitably forked ash saplings

If you use v tall poles ( old scaffolding ones from a reclamation yeard perhaps?) you can get pulley things from DIY places so that you can hoik the line right up high so it doesn't block view/flap in your face, and be able to pull it down to an easier height for pegging out/taking down.

Tish Suzy...what about growing your own cotton and mining your own iron with which to fashion nails.
