{"product_id":"washing-line-pole-modern-style","title":"Washing Line Pole - Modern Style","description":"\u003cp\u003e40mm square steel post with a 2mm wall, where most imported poles are round tube under 1mm. Hot dip galvanised and then powdercoated, so there is zinc under the colour rather than paint straight onto bare steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe detail that makes it: 12mm solid stainless steel tie-bars to tie your lines around, and a stainless steel square cap on the top. Solid bar, not tube, so there is nothing to crush or bend when you pull a line up tight. Against the black or grey powder coat the bright stainless gives a deliberate contrast, which is the point of this one over the plain and ornate poles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade in our own Sheffield workshop. Available in 2.5, 3 and 3.4 metre lengths, and we will make a different length to order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a fixed line. You tie the line off around the stainless tie-bars. This pole is not built for a pulley system or a retractable line, so if you want to drop the whole line to waist height to load it and then haul it back up, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/washing-line-pole-with-loop-and-cleat\"\u003eloop and cleat pole\u003c\/a\u003e is the one, because it has a cleat to tension against. On a fixed line the answer is a line prop, below.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRaising and lowering a fixed line\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe line sits at the height you tie it, so a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/heavy-duty-line-prop\"\u003eline prop\u003c\/a\u003e is what you use to raise and lower it. Push the prop up under the line, somewhere around the middle of the span, and it lifts the loaded line clear of the ground. That is exactly the moment you want the height, because a full load of wet washing is heavy and it sags most in the middle, which is where the sheets end up on the grass. To lower it again you take the prop out and the line drops back to where it was tied. Nothing to unthread, nothing to re-tension, and no reason to change the pole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOurs is aluminium and adjusts from 1.35 metres closed to 2.7 metres extended, so you set it to the height the line actually needs rather than being stuck with one. It is also worth having on any run over 6 metres, where the prop is carrying the span rather than setting the height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrice is per pole. These are sold as single lengths, so a standard washing line run needs two, one at each end. Order the quantity you need.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dio-Met Fabrications","offers":[{"title":"2.5 metres (in stock) \/ Black","offer_id":56948580974932,"sku":"WLPMS-0001","price":96.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5 metres (in stock) \/ Dark Green (2 week lead time)","offer_id":56948581040468,"sku":"WLPMS-0002","price":111.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5 metres (in stock) \/ White (2 week lead time)","offer_id":56948581106004,"sku":"WLPMS-0003","price":111.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5 metres (in stock) \/ Anthracite Grey (2 week lead time)","offer_id":56948581171540,"sku":"WLPMS-0004","price":111.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 metres (made to order) \/ Black","offer_id":56948581237076,"sku":"WLPMS-0005","price":111.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 metres (made to order) \/ Dark Green (2 week lead time)","offer_id":56948581302612,"sku":"WLPMS-0006","price":126.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 metres (made to order) \/ White (2 week lead time)","offer_id":56948581368148,"sku":"WLPMS-0007","price":126.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 metres (made to order) \/ Anthracite Grey (2 week lead time)","offer_id":56948581433684,"sku":"WLPMS-0008","price":126.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3.4 metres (made to order) \/ Black","offer_id":56948581499220,"sku":"WLPMS-0009","price":126.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3.4 metres (made to order) \/ Dark Green (2 week lead time)","offer_id":56948581564756,"sku":"WLPMS-0010","price":141.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3.4 metres (made to order) \/ White (2 week lead time)","offer_id":56948581630292,"sku":"WLPMS-0011","price":141.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3.4 metres (made to order) \/ Anthracite Grey (2 week lead time)","offer_id":56948581695828,"sku":"WLPMS-0012","price":141.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1068\/3052\/8852\/files\/New_WLP_d816039b-29a5-441c-893e-0d8b5dd77ade.jpg?v=1790774566","url":"https:\/\/diomet.co.uk\/products\/washing-line-pole-modern-style","provider":"Dio-Met Fabrications","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
