Default LADDER LINE SPREADERS


gosh! These would be perfect. I went to the site but can't read the
language.

I wonder if you could tell me how much 500 would cost shipped to Texas
and the cost of 500?

We have some plactic plant stakes. They are round about 1/2 or 3/8
inch in ciamter. Color is green and the have some ridges which, I
guess would prevent ties/wires from slipping down the stake.
However, they are expensive per stick.


I sure wish that I could find what you suggested over here.

THANK YOU.

Hi, Folks.

I need ideas for CHEAP and uv stable, strong, light weight, waterproof
ladder line spreaders of about 4 or 5 inches wide. Wood in any
configuration will not do. PVC pipe will not do. Welding rod would
do but it is expensive.

I was thinking of Fiberglas tape, twisted and put in place and then
resin applied but that is very cumbersome.

Any ideas out there?

Thank you.


If it's Dutch it ain't much...
"We" use spreaders which are used for growing roses, so called "rose
clips."

The picture shows how perfect they are made for spreaders!
The original seller:

They are rather cheap a few cent each UV resistant.
In relation to the transport cost to the US it can be expensive. They
come in bundles of 500 pc!
Unfortunately don't know where you can buy them in the US, but you can
start looking in local agriculture shops.
Somebody must grow roses over there having the same problem...
