Thanks for replies, Dove I can not have a retractable because the tree that I am currently using is totally rotten and falling down so I will unfortunately have to put a pole in it's place. I did look at the 2.4 metre post but did't think it would be tall enough once it was in the ground but if it is that height after being 'planted' it would be fine. The reason it has to be so high is because the other end is attached up high on a tree and if it is any lower it drags in the lawn.
Runnybreak and Verdon Thanks, I will try and source builders/metal merchants.
Totally agree about washing on a line, love to watch it in the breeze, and today is a very good day for it.
I hate visible washing lines in the garden. I have two big hooks from fencing I can attach a line to with holes in the end then I use a 10 foot forked stick in the middle to prop up the line as high as I want to go. After the washing is all dried I take it all down and put it in the shed.

Thought you'd bought some new ones only recently Verdun - as you've not had them a fortnight yet I'm surprised you're even thinking about washing them

Lou, Hubby irons everything, I mean everything. His pants, his socks , towelling bathrobe. He even irons, and I kid you not, his face flannel.
