Assembly
1. Assemble the cross bar. Push the left and right bars fully into
the cross brace until they hit the small indent in the middle.
Fix into place using the 2 x screws supplied.
2. Attach the assembled cross bar and Clothesline wall brackets
to the Ground Mount posts.
3. Before installation we suggest attaching the clothesline
assembled side arms to the wall brackets. Please refer to Step
3 on the clothesline instruction sheet. Don’t attach the
Clothesline front bar or line cord yet, this will be done later.
If you are using the Mounting Plate Kit,
continue installation using the
instructions included in your Mounting
Plate Kit packaging.
4. Concrete the Mounting Posts into the holes, checking
the following before and during concreting:-
5. Clean any excess concrete from the posts with a damp
cloth. Allow the concrete to set for 24 hours before
attaching the Clothesline front bar and line cord.
- Mounting Posts are vertical - check with a spirit level.
1. In your chosen location, mark two holes on the ground
240cm apart (or your chosen width) for the posts.
- Post spacing is 240cm between centres (or your
chosen width).
2. Dig the two holes to a depth of 40cm and ll with 5cm
of gravel to allow for drainage.
- Cross bar is horizontal - check with a spirit level.
3. Place the assembled Ground Mount Kit into the holes
you’ve just dug. The cross bar should be 10cm above
the typical users height. The height of the cross bar can
be adjusted by cutting the Mounting Posts down in
height (only cut the end that goes in the ground).
