I recently bought a Brabantia rotary clothes line with a soil spear which will be cemented into the ground - I intend to store it inside when I’m not using it. I would also like to have a garden parasol in my small garden. Both items have a metal pole. Does anyone know if I can successfully use the soil spear for both items please?

Yes, I've done that in the past. It works a treat!

I brought my brabantia to this house but bought a new 50mm concrete tube, it took some wooden supports and a spirit level, as I worked on my own. I used two bags of ready mix and did it 5 years ago. Solid as a rock and straight. I should think you could use the spear for both. The tube in the ground has a good cap which I close when I remove the rotary airer

I use a heavy weight parasol holder for both successfully. So far this year I have had no use for the parasol not bothered even getting it out.
