I need to find a prop for my washing line, y'know, like your nan had...

[charlieandlola]

Basically a stick, with a V shape at the end, to prop up a long straight washing line.
I remember these from the 1970's before rotary driers that you stick in the grass, became de riguer.

Can anyone help me find one please?

Argos extendable one/ adjustable one works very well. Loads of positive reviews of it on the argos site. Actually it works far better than most other things we've had from argos...

Argos sell them for about £9. Just put clothes prop in the online search (on my phone so can't link - sorry)

Got mine from Morrisons

I also got mine from Morrisons! It was hard to find though as they were stood up behind other laundry type items!

Wilkinsons sell the extendable ones

The shop which used to be Poundstretcher but is now Instore has them dead cheap. Not wooden though, plastic but still strong enough to withstand high winds in my hillside garden.

I got one from Homebase and one from B&Q

You get a length of 2 x 1 timber from the hardware store and put in the notch with a junior hacksaw.

A hacksaw ? < faints> and runs off to Argos, Wilkos and Morrisons
Thanks all

I have just got a brilliant wooden prop, "just like Mum had" from www.clothesmaid.com I am really please with it.

I got an extendable one on Amazon. It's not as nice as a wooden one, but does the job, and collapses well when I'm not using it.

i made my own wooden one [smug] ok i bought a length of wood and cut a 'V' in the end

Wilko adjustable £3 bargain!

Wilko here too.

I think I got mine in either Argos or homebase.

Wilkinsons, Argos and Asda all do them. I paid £3 for mine.

got mine from wilko's as well

Wilkos here too, think it was 4 pounds

Another vote for the Argos adjustable one.

Don't go super cheap else it will bend when you put all the wet heavy jeans out to dry and then you'll have to go and get the adjustable one anyway...

Poundstretcher £1.99

Dp works at Argos and he bought their extendable ones. They were crap. So I sent him to wickes where he bought two planks of wood and cut Vs into them. I am now happy.

I have tried all the metal poles that bend, break or rust. Hubbie stepped in and being an Engineer researched the subject and made 2 traditional props that are so great everyone we know wants one of his "solar drying attachment's". No more clothes dragging on the garden!
