marmitemania Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Just picked four telescopic line props from wilko's on offer at £1.98 each adjust up to about 9 feet I think, with a very good hook on the top and already painted green all over so no shiney parts, might need a quick wipe with a bit of steel wool just to make them matt, a cheap alternative if on a budget or a tightwad like me.

bunny_blaster Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 There ok when the ground is soft but when its hard like it is at the moment there about as useful as a chocolate tea pot Better off just forking out £40 and buying a proper set.

Cheers Ben This was my solution to the problem a little while back. It did work, but by the time you add up the cost of the other materials it wasn't quite such a bargain. They did me for a while but I bit the bullet and bought some from the site sponsors a while back and they've been great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKPoacher Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 You'll need some brolly spikes like this for when the ground is hard. Check the tat shops in town that specialise on cheap tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmitemania Posted July 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 I know its extra weight to carry but I just took a tapered point and a hammer to make a hole worked even in rock solid ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
