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 :-)

Hth Someone

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?

lmao you all, i got no sense of length, i just want a high washing line like my neighbours

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. Someone

But it travels further when it blows off!

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