Basic Installation Directions – Your ornate pole placement is simple and suitable for home projects:

1. Form a cavity to the ideal depth (around 500mm for solid base).
2. Locate the post or socket, confirm alignment, and embed in concrete.
3. Pick Postcrete for swift firming within 5-10 minutes.
4. Secure your washing line to the tie-bars.
5. Provide at least 24 hours for hardening before use.

Bits that go with it

Most people add a galvanised ground socket, which means the pole can be lifted out for mowing or storage instead of being set in concrete for good. We also make steel core washing line, a line prop, heavy duty metal pegs, and an ornate wall bracket to match if the line runs back to the house.

Made here, not shipped in

There is a lot of thin imported metalwork sold as ornate, most of it under 1mm wall thickness. This is 42mm tube with a 3.2mm wall and 12mm solid tie-bars, galvanised against the weather, made in Sheffield by a family business of over 35 years. It is our best seller because it lasts, not because it is the cheapest.

The rest of what we do

If the ornate work appeals, it is worth knowing we do a good deal more of it — wrought iron style railings, gates, balcony balustrades and staircases, made to the same standard as this pole. Start with our full range, or see what we have made for other people.
