What outdoor clothesline to install?

[dgialanze]

Hi There. 

I'm wanting to install an outdoor clothesline but just after some recommendations in term of what space we have to work with. The biggest load would be a king size doona set. Do you have any recommendations on a product within these measurements below.

Redline (2.60M) represents end of brick wall to first tap.

Blueline(2.10M) represents after drain pipe to first tap.

Height is (2.60M)

Thank you

Hi @dgialanze 

A very good  clothes line i  own for 20 years now and still going is as mentioned below.

It will need to mount inside the Down  pipe and the width  extends 2.2M back over the taps by 100mm given your detailed  measurement thanks.

The upper mounting bracket wont interfere  with your taps  and you can put washing down the other end so tap access unimpeeded.

Hills  brand is  very good reliable.  Comes in Gray and wood land grey.

It has two raisable sections  so it isnt  in your way if you are playing foot ball etc in the backyard.

Drain heavey water logged doonas off  first as they can be heavy at first. At @.2 meters the doona  should fit ok  I might hang it on the bar not the actual  clothes line as an option.

Hi @dgialanze,

Thank you for your question.

The Hills 26m Woodland Grey Double Folding Clothesline that @Jewelleryrescue is the exact clothesline I would suggest, but it will extend just past the tap. As there are two sections of line that fold separately, it gives you some good options.

As Jewelleryrescue has said, a king-sized doona that is sodden will weigh a fair bit, so wringing it out prior to hanging is a good idea. I'd also suggest hanging it on the lines closest to the wall.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
