Beryl Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 The spike ( the hollow metal bit , which sinks into the ground) that my rotary washing line fits into has broken. Does anyone know where I can get another one from please? I know in the UK you can buy them separately, but I have only seen them sold with washing lines in Bricorama. As the washing line is fine, I am loathed to buy the whole lot again.Apparently, they are called 'ancre de terre' in France, but the only ones I have seen are for garden parasols and won't be strong enough.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Redman Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Try 'Ivan Tout' - naf logo of a kangeroo or Foire Foulle sort of French pound shop. Or buy a small pack of quick dry cement dig the hole and use a well greased plastic pipe to leave space for the rotary clothes line spike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I have seen them in Mr Bricolage but no guarantee you will find the same thing in every branch.Liz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suein56 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Also, check the diameter of the spike as they vary - as, obviously, do the diameters of the washing pole. We bought a rotary washing pole from Lidl and it definitely did not fit in the concreted-in spike I had used for the previous pole which had been a Brabantia. The Lidl pole had a bigger diameter. My OH had to create a new installation set-up - he was not too impressed with me at the time for failing to notice the difference in the diameters.Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
