Clothesline Installation FAQs
What type of clothesline is best for a small yard?
Fold-down or retractable clotheslines are ideal for small spaces as they can be folded away
when not in use. Wall-mounted options keep the ground clear while still providing good drying
capacity.
Can a rotary clothesline be installed on a deck?
Yes, with a deck-mount socket or plate. The installer will need to ensure the deck structure
can support the clothesline and that the mounting is secure. Some decks may require additional
bracing.
How deep does a concrete footing need to be?
Typically 450–600mm deep, depending on the clothesline size and soil conditions. The concrete
needs time to cure before the clothesline can be used, usually 24–48 hours.
Can I install a clothesline myself?
Handy homeowners can install some clotheslines, particularly wall-mounted models. However,
digging holes, mixing concrete and ensuring the post is perfectly level for a rotary hoist
can be tricky, professional installation ensures it's done right.
