I used this video, and installed my umbrella clothesline today. It looks awesome! Thank you.

Thanks for making this video,this is so informative!

@surajgoel1 4 года назад

Thank you. Followed these instructions to the letter and it turned out fine. Use a strong stick to mix in the cement and as shown on the video important to layer it as it starts to set very quickly. Digging the hole was hard work so I just added a bit of water to soften up the turf.

I made the mistake of digging a hole, putting in the plastic tube, then tried packing small stones and earth around it, tamp it down, and add a bit more until if was nearly covered up. Tried it out with some washing...........it fell over. So off to YT to find an sensible way of doing it, and this shows me how to do it.........B&Q next!

@B&Q - Hi there, at what point do you remove the pole after checking levels? I’m worried as the ground holder I have has a hole in the bottom and I don’t want the pole getting stuck. Thanks

@bandq Месяц назад

Hi there, we would suggest carefully removing the pole before it fully sets if you are worried about it setting into place in the the socket you have.

@bkdamen Год назад

Could you please let me know what make and size airer is used? Also, does all the airer comes with a plastic socket.

@bandq Год назад

Hi Burhan, I'm afraid as this video is old we no longer sell this airer. However, we have a wide range of rotary airers - bit.ly/45CBB9B. You can filter your search using the columns down the left hand side. I hope this helps! 😊

@chrisr9199 Год назад

can you buy the shorter pole separate?

@bandq Год назад

Hi Chris, if you're rereferring the socket/spike that you put into the ground, yes you can purchase these separately. I hope this helps!

@keegan773 3 года назад

What size bag of Postcrete do you need for one job, 5Kg?

@bandq 3 года назад

Hi, it would depend on the size of the hole you need to dig, which will be gauged from the length of the socket you have. Hope this helps! 😊

@tajuddinakbar3207 2 года назад

Can you tell me how much space is needed when it is stretched?

@bandq 2 года назад

Hi, as there are different sizes and shapes of rotary airers, we would suggest checking the specifications of the item you are interested in purchasing for these details 🙂

@alfredsimcox1143 4 года назад

I have exact same pole why not mention the depth for the one demonstrating....also 2inches became 3 presumably it doesn't matter ...Alf senior

@shabradowson8782 Год назад

Do take your rotary line in, especially in the winter. I didn't and mine won't come out of the socket any more so I can't replace it. I can't be a good example, I'll just have to be a terrible warning!

@bandq Год назад

Hi Shabra, you don't need to. You can always use a cover when it's not in use, please see our range here - bit.ly/3MXHjvr. I hope this helps 😊

@danielconnolly4618 Год назад

Try pouring hot water around the socket to see if you can shift the rotary line.

@mikeford5106 11 месяцев назад

Check that the post is vertical TWICE ..... at 45 degrees apart spacing.

@campinkate5925 2 года назад

Not sure what the “socket” is, I’m assuming it doesn’t come with the clothesline. Anyone know? A link would be perfect, thanks.

@bandq 2 года назад

Hi, the socket is the part you put the rotary airer into. It allows you to take the airer out and put it back in when needed. The socket or ground spike usually comes with the airer. You will see this listed in the Product Details on the item you wish to purchase. Hope this helps! 😄

@1965MJW 4 года назад

I would have appreciated some overhead shots of what was going on. Also the reason for such extra large dimensions? You need plenty of room to mix the cement - it becomes very stodgy, very quickly and you need plenty of space to manoeuvre. Good video though - appreciate the help!

@chompyb 3 года назад

Think of it as a foundation, to stop the airer from twisting in the ground when the wind blows. As for mixing the cement - what mixing? He used postcrete, a pour in and water in pre mix, and so should you.

@1965MJW 3 года назад

@@chompyb 'what mixing?' You've just answered your own question - 'pour in and water'....but then you have to stir/mix it...it doesn't do itself! Durrrr!🙄

How do you put one up with concrete in your garden..

That was concrete, ie. a cement and sand mix with quick setting agent. Mixing your own is not a smart idea as the man explained.

Drill a hole in the concrete i suppose

I have a socket installed into concrete in which the pole rusted and snapped inside. How do I remove it? It's got paving slabs/rocks around it too. Set into the concrete before I lived here

@bandq 3 года назад

Hi, you could try something like WD40 or other lubricant inside the socket which might loosen it and depending if you can reach inside remove it. If not, then it would need to be removed with either a jack hammer or SDS drill. Hope this helps! 😊
