    Hello sir/madam I need a bit of help I had brought a rotary from B & Q I will provide the direct link http://m.diy.com/mt/www.diy.com/nav...r-30m-10136446?&action=detail&un_jtt_redirect

    And I need a replacement rotary to fit the pole I have been looking at a few in Argos I will provide the direct link http://www.argos.co.uk/m/static/Bro...c_3/3|cat_14418551|Rotary+airers|14418556.htm


    But the measurement is confusing me please can you suggest which one will be approiate and can I get a 40m or 50m or even 55m to fit the original pole

    The problem is for some reason the original one I have is the b an q 30m which has a buzzare measurement of 200cm which I can not convert to find out if the ones from Argos will fit on the original. Reason is the original pole is cemented in the ground so no going back. I could buy the exact same one from b and q but I would prefer a more larger rotarry if it is possible to fit on the original pole.

    Please tell me the right rotary to get the link and also how you worked out the calculation or how the conversion was done for further reference

    Thanks in advance

    I've got a mate that keeps his tumble dryer in the greenhouse:)
    I'm guessing we are talking washing here?

    Can you find the make of the washing line, either on paperwork or on the item itself? If so you should be able to contact the makers and buy the parts direct. :)

      Gummybear, are you asking if the diameter of the tube is the same on both poles?

      Yes I think this is the info he needs, but there is just no way of telling that from pictures.

      Go and buy the same one from B&Q. If you buy a larger one it may over stress the existing pole and bend it, then you'll have to dig up the cement...

      Buy the larger rotary which you want, if you are extremely lucky it will fit in the holder in the ground but if not you will just have to start again, no other option really!! :dunno:
