Things You Should KnowSize of The Clothes Hoist These hoists are limited in size and come in one colour; the first step is to determine the size of the line based on the number of people using the line, howoften do you wash, and how large are your wash loads?Installation Area Available The area available to install the line is also an important consideration and possibly the one that will determine the line size you can install. TheClothes Hoist diameter is measured from one end of a bar to the other. In addition, it'srecommended to have at least 500mm clearance all around the clothes hoist.Clearance is so vital as this ensures the line can rotate in the breeze withoutobstruction, plus your clothesline won’t get caught on the fence, house, trees or garden.Determining the Clothes Hoist Budget Clothes Hoists are one of the most used appliances in the home and can last up to 15 years or more.

Wall & Fence Mounted InstallationThe most common installation type is a brick or concrete walls. These provide a quality anchor point for the clotheslines. However if your bricks or masonry wall is in poor condition a ground mount option may be a better solution.If you have a Hebbal, Cladding or Weatherboard wall we do not recommend this type of installation.A local handyman or builder may be able to assist you in fixing a clothesline to these types of surfaces, however we do not indorse this type of installation. Weather BoardIf you have a fence, we do not recommend installingyour clothesline onto it. In these situations, we suggest using a ground mount kit as shown below, even if you have an existing clothesline on a fence. This is because the integrity of the fence may not be suitable to support the clothesline for the same number of years the clothesline will function.HebbalWall CladdingRecommended SurfacesFence MountingSurfaces Not RecommendedMetal Fenced Timber Fence Ground MountAustralia’s #1TheClotheslineStore.com.au1300 509 564
Ground Mounted InstallationThe ground mount kits connect to the clotheslines and allow them to be free standing instead of a wall mounted installation. The most common installation for the legs is to be concreted into soil or a grassed area.You can also install the clothesline on a concrete slab or path, for this there are two options available. One is to core drill the concrete and the other, a less expensive option is to plate mount the legs to the concrete. The only brands which provide base plate mounting options are Air Dry, Austral and Daytek.Core hole drilling is when the installer drills holes through your concrete and installs the legs into them. This is a more expensive option than the plated system. This is the only option available when installing a Hills product onto a concrete slab or path.
