The other day Lidl had these amazing screw-in metal posts. Never seen
them before. They were specifically for mounting washing lines, but
could have been used for many other purposes. They came with a bar to
turn and thus screw them in, like an auger, and were about two feet
long with a tapered thread.

My whirly gig has stood up to tremendous winds through the winter whilst
mounted into one of these - cannot recommend them highly enough
