Rotary Clothes Lines
 
Another tedious shopping quest awaits:

I am trying to get a small rotary clothes line for my new place - All I can find are heinously overpriced Austral or Hills ones starting at nearly $300, and really too big for my little garden.

I was after something a little more like this one from Argos:

Three arm rotary clothes line

for about the same price...

Does anybody have any idea where I may find one? For a reasonable price? It's almost certainly cheaper to get one sent from the UK than pay for a Hills one...

I'm sure I've seen basic ones in Kmart. Certainly weren't Hills prices but probably more than Argos prices though.

Yes,

Kmart do have one, but it's not a static one with a ground spike - It has 4 legs and would blow over in a very light breeze...

Tried Mitre 10 - I got the 'I'm sorry I have no idea what you are talking about' look for the guy there. Don't have a bunnings very close, so that willinvolve a trip out at the weekend.

When I looked for the same recently, the cheapest in Bunnings was around $70. The other 'proudly Aussie made' ones were, as you say, upwards of $200!

Cheers!

Grrr... Just been to Bunnings, and they don't appear to sell the cheapy ones any more - The cheapest one is a Hills, which is $260.

Apart from the price, it is also far too big - I can only really accommodate a 2m diameter one in my garden.

Spartacus - Do you remember the brand of the one you saw? This is starting to get quite frustrating! Not everybody has huge plots of land for 3m plus diameter clothes lines!

These guys do the rotary ones (from $99) but they are bigger than 2m. What about a folding line, I had one at my last house (very small garden) and it was fine for us (family of 4)?

Sad as I am, I brought mine over from the UK with us. It was new so I refused to leave it behind. Wouldn't have bought a new one when I did except my old one snapped about 6 weeks before we moved out and I couldn't cope without one. So glad I did bring it with me now :thumbsup:
