I am trying to buy a traditional clothes prop (the sort that props up a washing line) I live in Cornwall.?

I have had no luck trying to find the traditional type which has two parallel poles with holes through and a peg to push through the holes to hold it at the required height. I live in Cornwall so do not have a great choice of retailers, but if someone knows of a company who I can order from I would be glad to hear from them.


Such a simple item but so hard to find!I am trying to buy a traditional clothes prop (the sort that props up a washing line) I live in Cornwall.?
Go to a timber supplier, Travis Perkins comes to mind as they are a nationwide company, and ask their timber expert what he would suggest as strong enough for your needs.


I suggest a piece about12feet long and at least 2 inches by 2 inches. Use a saw to cut a V in one end to push onto the line and there you have it. Adjust height by varying the angle of the prop.


Total cost about 拢4.00I am trying to buy a traditional clothes prop (the sort that props up a washing line) I live in Cornwall.?
I recently bought a traditional clothes prop from Kleeneze; it is metal, extends in length and has a hook on the end that closes around the clothes line, so that it cannot blow down. If there is not a distributor in your area log on to http://www.kleeneze.co.uk/ for further information as I think you can now also shop on line. Hope you find what you are looking for.
Not being funny now but ,would not it be just as cheap to buy a length of timber %26amp; put your ';v'; shape in the end %26amp; use it or, perhaps you have a Homebase or Argos close at hand?
Hi Bazou thought I just say I recently got a line-prop from Asda (with the two parallel poles and a hole for the wee plastic peg thingy).





Well I lost the plastic peg thingy after about 1 week of stormy weather. I found it was a bit feeble for I had quite a weight of work wear clothes and blankets etc as regular wash day. I thought well what do I do next I asked my son who welds cars to help me perdiciment. Two minutes later he gave me the line-prom back alas with a simple jubilee clip whick costs less than 50 pence. It is now a terrific clothes-prop with fantastic height which my neighbours are envious off my clothes dry in no time so high up and the prop is very strong now after adjustments.





Try link below for line-prop and get a jubilee clip from your local petrol station.
