in I wanna buy it or do it
I'm looking for some poles to put up a clothes line in the garden - but can't seem to find many.

Index did silver metal ones, but I'm really looking for black metal ones.

Anyone got any suggestions??

    Long time since I needed one - sure it was B&Q but dunno if they still do them (mostly rotaries these days). Alternative is the Index one and a can of Hammerite.

    you could always make your own out of concrete and a wooden mould then just concrete into the ground and paint if you want

    I don't know the layout of your garden so my suggestion might not be useful.:confused:

    Are you planning to put two poles in your garden with a washing line permanently attached?

    Why not fix a rectractable washing line to your house, then you'll only need one pole..........to clip the washing line onto.........every time you pull it out/need to use it.

    The advantages are:

    1 Your garden space is not blighted by a permanent washing line getting in your way.

    2 The washing line is rectracted after use.........so it keeps clean and won't mark your clean laundry.

    3 You won't have to fix two poles..........only one pole will be needed to clip the washing line onto it.

    We've got the retractable washing line type.
