I was always told that with 220 cords you're supposed to use as short of cord as possible for safety reasons. For some reason there is a greater potential for fire with the longer 220 cords. Having said that you can go to Lowes or Home Depot and buy a plug and wire and make your own longer cord.

I have experience with this my friend. What you have to do is call the police and tell them that your neighbor has been dragging your extension cord over the fence for a long time, plugging it in and trying to get alien signals through the currents. Say you think he is pschyzophrenic. This should have him taken away (for a little while at least) so you can enjoy your television and whatnot without such a pesky annoyance from a person so OBVIOUSLY calloused. (you can use his garden tools or pool while he is on "vacation" to recoup the considerable losses he has cost you).

The National Electric Code says extension cords cannot be used to take the place of permanent building wiring. It says that because of the fire hazard. It is very easy to extend your wiring another 7 or 8 feet and move the receptacle to where you need it. Replace the existing receptacle with a junction box for splicing, and put the receptacle where you need it. Run wires between the two and connect them the same way they are now. Don't forget to turn the power off first.

Do not use an extension cord. If it is a 4-wire circuit extend it to the new location. If it is a 3-wire circuit, replace it with a 4-wire.

I looked up manufacturer site and the longest I found was a six ft cord.... like someone else said, I don't think they like them to be longer....standard is four ft and you want to go seven more?... 11 ft?.... . your other choice is to have your electician MOVE the outlet to where you want to put the dryer.... that's gonna cost ya a dab....

I have bought extension cords a while back, but I guess they were not popular and so can find one anymore. Just get a longer one and replace it. They wouldnt make longer ones if it was not ok to do so.

Extension cords are not allowed by code I would call a qualified electrician.

I haven't seen one but you could make one buying the supplies at a home improvement store. If you are worried about carrying the load increase the size of the wire in your extension. It will carry a heavier amp load.
But if you don't trist yourself you could probably have na electrician make just the cord for you.
