Can you help with an outdoor rotary washing line please?

Question

I have an outdoor rotary washing line which sits in a plastic hollow tube in the ground. When it rains I am sick of having to remove all of the clothes and bring them in only to then put them back out again when the weather is better.

I want to be able to just pick the whole thing up and bring it indoors but have no where to stand it back up again inside. Does anyone know if a 'free-standing' stand is available for rotary washing lines which could be used for this instance? If so please put a link to one in your reply. Thanks.

Answer 1

you could get one of the patio umberella stands , you could get a steel one or one that you fill with water or sand , b&q sell them nearly all diy places sell them. this would be ideal as long  as it wont be windy as it wont be that stable enough to leave outdours

Answer 2

Leave the washing out and if it rains, cover it with a plastic sheet. You can buy these sheets in B&Q.

Answer 3

Who are you to be able to pick up and move a whole washing line?  The terminator?

Answer 4

You can buy them, for camping and I believe that you can get a free standing full size one (the idea being you don't have to have the hole!) I have seen them, I'll try and find a link

You can get them on e-bay too

Answer 5

HOW WIDE ARE YOUR DOORS???

on dubious weather days i put my washing on a clothes airer that way i can lift the whole thing inside in 1 go, my airer is over 6ft in diametre i couldnt get it indoors even if i had  stand to put it on

Answer 6

They make stands for outdoor patio umbrellas that have holes in the middle.  See if the holes are the size you want.  You fill the stand with sand for ballast.  The thing that strikes me, though, is that it would take the strength of quite a few men to pick up the whole line with wet clothes on it.
