When we had our garden landscaped. I asked for the washing line post to be taken out as it was unsightly
I dot really want another one out in if I can help it and was wondering if I can use one of the fence posts that have been concreted in?

Re: Washing line
Of course you can. You can buy retractable (Sp?) washing lines on a reel as well...

Re: Washing line
Would that not depend on the weight of the washing (Wet washing is heavy) and how well the fence post is mounted?
Why not opt for a rotary washing line?

Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.
If gloom had a voice, it would be me.

Re: Washing line
If the post has been concreted in properly it won't move under the weight of a bit of washing...

Re: Washing line
Agreed, but it also has at least one maybe two fence panels on it as well.wine~o wrote:If the post has been concreted in properly it won't move under the weight of a bit of washing...

Re: Washing line
A 4x4 fence post concreted in 2 ft won't budge with some washing on it.
Carpentry,I can explain it to you but I cannot understand it for you.

It's a double line I have so I'll make sure to tie them off onto different posts

Re: Washing line
A prop is essential as it reduces the load at each end and also lifts the washing up avoiding the line sag.
We have a rotary line now that is kept in the garage when not in use.

Re: Washing line
My bachelor line and prop works good, even in hi winds, though the 5' bed sheets need doubling. And spot the immersion wrench, haha!
