    Somewhere such as Wilkinson's or Robert Dyas are worth trying. Or if you have a local hardware/diy store you may find they stock them. If no luck there then good old Ebay usually comes up trumps sooner or later.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.
  • There's nothing wrong with the line - unwrap it from the frame, then restring, keeping it tight as you anchor it on the corners. You will have to do this with a new line anyway. Replacment lines aren't expensive, but why bother with a new one? Mine tend to get chewed by the squirrels, but we just rethread, missing out some of the anchor points!

    Yes you are absolutely right !!! Why didnt I think of that? We have problems with the squirrels learning their tap dancing on our line whne not in use , which is why it has gone saggy LOL . I will do it at the weekend IF we get fine weather:)
