Rotary clothes airer in a parasol base

flufff

we put the stake part in a bucket of cement which then set.Benefit of this is I can lug it to wherever I want in the garden/patio and unlike my old one in the lawn the dog no longer feels the need to pee on it

flufff

I also put my freestanding normal airers/drying stands outside on fine days.If it saves my electricity bill then alls good

You could always fill the parasole base with sand,that would be much heavier than one filled with water.

i have previously used a small piece of scaffold tube hammered into the lawn using a piece of wood to put over it then hit it with a sledge hammer! then you can pop the clothes line into it, its easy to hammer the tube in yourself!

BTW, I found the Coopers rotary drier on another site, or something very similar, and they described it as a 'garage stand', so my instincts were correct and it's not designed for being outside on blowy days ...

We have a very wide parasol base bought very cheaply from Lidl last year - filled it with sand and have two full loads of washing out on the whirly line with no problems at all

You do have to be careful to balance the loads around the line though - but not usually a problem and since we only have a patio area this provided the perfect solution!
