I need to hang a wall mounted clothesline but it has to go on compressed fibre cement cladding.
What fixings should I use???
It's great to hear you had success with your project @SuseMck. Well done.
That's also a fantastic idea with the screening that I would have never thought of!
Have a fantastic holiday break as well!

Hi MitchellMc,
I want to attempt to fix a double folding frame clothesline to the internal wall of my garage.
Ideally I will be fixing it into the studs (assuming they line up) however I am unsure of what kind of fixing to use. It comes with masonry studs but I am assuming that is a tad excessive.
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @petarabbit. It's sensational to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about mounting a clothesline.
You'll need to use a timber screw, and something along the lines of a Zenith 12G x 50mm Galvanised Hex Head Timber Screws should be sufficient.
As previously mentioned, you'll likely need to install some horizontal timber across the studs in order to mount your brackets. A couple of 90 x 35mm Pine lengths should do the job. This allows you to distribute the weight over several studs instead of just two. Also, the distance between the mounting holes on that bracket would likely mean that the screws will be right on the edge of a 45mm studs and that's not great. Better to install horizontal lengths and screw into those.
Fortunately my rendering skills have somewhat improved over the last four years, so here's another visual I created for you.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Mitchell
