Washing line pylon

[poyks]

Mrs Poyks asked me to put a pole up for our new washing line yesterday.

Feeling rather inventive, I decided to build a 7 foot tall mini-pylon to do the job! ;D

I had a load of old steel gazebo poles on top of the garage roof, so I fetched them all down and set to work with my angle grinder and welder.

As it's a kind of terminal tower, I've used a triangular 'pushing foot' design that will withstand loads of weight on the washing line without the need of concreting the feet. This means it just needs to be pushed 6 inches into the grass and can be moved for lawn cutting etc.

I'm rather pleased with the result; I've got some pylon building out of my system, and Mrs Poyks has a superb high tension washing line!!

That's awesome.

Now come on Poyksy, some of those bars look suspiciously like the bars to stop patients rolling out of their hospital beds! Own up now, are there some invalids sleeping in a heap on the floor tonight just to feed your pylon obsession? ;D

That is awesome, there is nothing else to describe it as.

Yes but can your tripod walk? and where does the Martian sit? ;D

You could put some of those insulating discs to good use with this pokys!?? seems ideal!
