{"product_id":"washing-line-pole-ornate-style","title":"Washing Line Pole - Ornate Style","description":"\u003cp\u003e42mm round steel with a 3.2mm wall, where most imported poles are under 1mm. A decorative acorn finial on the top and solid 12mm round bars to tie your lines around: the traditional look, for gardens where a plain square post would jar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSolid bar rather than tube, so there is nothing to crush or bend when you pull a line up tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHot dip galvanised as standard, which is what gives it more than 25 years of protection against corrosion. Powder coating in black, anthracite grey, white or dark green is an option on top of that, priced on the dropdown. Finial and bars are galvanised and powdercoated along with the pole, so the whole thing matches. Made in our own Sheffield workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a fixed line, tied off around the 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) \/ Galvanised (no colour)","offer_id":56948427030868,"sku":"WLPOS-0001","price":75.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5 metres (in stock) \/ Black","offer_id":56948427096404,"sku":"WLPOS-0002","price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5 metres (in stock) \/ Anthracite Grey (2 week lead time)","offer_id":56948427161940,"sku":"WLPOS-0003","price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5 metres (in stock) \/ White (2 week lead time)","offer_id":56948427227476,"sku":"WLPOS-0004","price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5 metres (in stock) \/ Dark Green (2 week lead time)","offer_id":56948427293012,"sku":"WLPOS-0005","price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 metres (made to order) \/ Galvanised (no colour)","offer_id":56948427358548,"sku":"WLPOS-0006","price":93.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 metres (made to order) \/ Black","offer_id":56948427424084,"sku":"WLPOS-0007","price":108.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 metres (made to order) \/ Anthracite Grey (2 week lead time)","offer_id":56948427489620,"sku":"WLPOS-0008","price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 metres (made to order) \/ White (2 week lead time)","offer_id":56948427555156,"sku":"WLPOS-0009","price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 metres (made to order) \/ Dark Green (2 week lead time)","offer_id":56948427620692,"sku":"WLPOS-0010","price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3.4 metres (made to order) \/ Galvanised (no colour)","offer_id":56948427686228,"sku":"WLPOS-0011","price":111.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3.4 metres (made to order) \/ Black","offer_id":56948427751764,"sku":"WLPOS-0012","price":126.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3.4 metres (made to order) \/ Anthracite Grey (2 week lead time)","offer_id":56948427817300,"sku":"WLPOS-0013","price":135.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3.4 metres (made to order) \/ White (2 week lead time)","offer_id":56948427882836,"sku":"WLPOS-0014","price":135.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3.4 metres (made to order) \/ Dark Green (2 week lead time)","offer_id":56948427948372,"sku":"WLPOS-0015","price":135.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1068\/3052\/8852\/files\/ornate-washing-line-pole-black-garden_8df953cd-5d91-473d-bc9f-50fd01a304ec.jpg?v=1790776893","url":"https:\/\/diomet.co.uk\/products\/washing-line-pole-ornate-style","provider":"Dio-Met Fabrications","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
