About this deal

Household Electricals Shop all Household Electricals Dry:Soon Heated Airers Heated Blankets & Mattress Protectors Irons & Clothes Steamers Air Purifiers Because of their horizontal design, this style of retractable airer works well when positioned over a radiator inside. They’re often made from aluminium and plastic-coated steel, which also makes them suitable for use outside. Having seen the pic, I've got to agree that the horizontals are not strong enough to hold a washing line post.

The most obvious solution would be to build your fence or erect a post where you want to fix something. Other options to this issue are: The above information covers how to dig out a fence post hole, for more information on how to fix fence posts in place, see our project here. Given that this is such a compact line, with quite a large weight capacity, it does still offer good value for money, you just need to take care of it so that it will last. Nevertheless, it’s still inexpensive when compared to the premium Brabantia line. For small gardens, opt for the shortest length of line possible. Shorter retractable lines tend to come in a single, not a double, unit. This means the casing will be smaller overall and generally protrude less from the wall. We really like this washing line – it’s a great quality unit that gives the impression from the outset that it will be long-lasting. The casing is sturdy, high quality plastic that will withstand extremes of weather, and the Cordomatic’s retractable mechanism is good and strong.

We’ve heard of individual lines stretching over time and because tension is applied across all 5 lines at once, you can end up with some lines longer than others. And, if you are fixing it to a cavity wall, make sure you use suitable hollow wall anchors; don’t just rely on the fixings supplied, as fully laden, the washing line carries a lot of weight. Available from: For households of two people or more, look for approximately 30 m of line. This is sufficient to hold up to three loads of washing and is therefore a good choice for families. A 15 m retractable washing line will generally hold one-to-two loads of washing.

These retractable washing lines offer a large amount of hanging space. Whilst some units only have one spool inside, other models can have two. The length of the line will depend on the model, but it’s possible for each spool to hold approximately 15 metres of line. If there are two spools in one washing line unit (a dual retractable washing line), this will give around 30 metres of hanging space. Installing separate cleat hooks may be required to stop the lines from sagging and washing dragging on the ground The washing lines are kept taut by wrapping them around an anchor point on the base of the unit. However, when fully extended (over 12m), the lines can slip causing your washing to sag in the middle. Although this is the shortest length of washing line featured here, it’s still capable of hanging a couple of loads at once – up to 15 kg in total. It consists of one single line that automatically retracts after use. The line itself is relatively thin, with no wire core, but with the use of a couple of clothes props laundry won’t drag on the floor.

How to Dig a Fence Post Hole

These washing lines can differ in size between models, even if they have the same amount of line in metres. Whilst getting the largest option may seem like a good idea for hanging out the most washing, it also depends what size space you’re working with. My son taking his water gun to the sides of the clothes that were hanging down over our side of the fence.

Certain retractable washing lines can be placed above radiators, making it easy to dry washing without the help of a tumble drier in the winter. Once the rope is securely on the screw hooks, use a hammer to ram the screw hooks with the rope in place. It should be as tight as a tightrope. BTW that postcrete is quite expensive -- for one post -- but it does solve a lot of problems once you've dug the hole. ) you will be applying a strong and persistent force pulling the tops together. If you consider that the weight of the wet washing will be applied via a 6' lever to the spikes you can see it will be quite effective at pulling them out of place. i know someone who has a small washing line run from the side of the house to a concrete post, set in concete, and it has moved a couple of inches until it presses against the concrete path.

One other very useful service is linesearchbeforeudig.co.uk that can supply utility asset information and help you identify where any utilities may be within the grounds of your property. This is one of the primary benefits of a spool retractable washing line. The other main benefit is how compact the main unit is, and how little space they take up. Buying a spool line that is housed in casing is a good idea to keep the line clean and dry, even if it does make the wall unit slightly bulkier. The easiest way to concrete in a pole is to use something like Postcrete, a concrete mixture that can be poured dry into a hole and then have some water added to make it set. Some recommend trying out your wash line by placing a shirt on top of it and seeing how it reacts. If the clothesline weighs down or the pants fly off, make it more sturdy. If it passes the test, it is good to go! But the problem is the council won’t help me as its my fence they say its down to me to sort it out,, considering they my landlords lol.. So I though if I see a solicitor on my own and get advice off him and if the law is on my side sent my neighbour a letter stating that he’s not allow to use my post.. As they need fixing and I don’t want the trouble with him asking him to get off the post… I’m not well to deal with him and he has give me 5 years of hell… Not my fault he didn’t do is garden right and got no foundation

Steel plastic coated bars are mounted on an aluminium frame so this washing line is suitable for indoor or outdoor use. Aluminium rivets fix the bars to the frame and the unit feels well-made like it will stand the test of time. The council is putting up a boundary wall to support is drive as he’s go no foundation and he’s allowed to bolt a fence to the wall… S If you have loamy, peaty, sandy or silty soil, this soil-type is fairly light and easy to work with and in turn fairly easy to dig through, but if you have a heavy soil such as clay or a chalky soil that’s full of stones, using a manual auger will be hard work.

The washing line itself retracts easily into the UV-resistant casing when it’s not needed, and is long enough to hold approximately three loads of washing when fully extended. However, it does have a tendency to stretch, which is its biggest downside. Once you have ensured that the Postcrete mix has set hard cover the top of the mix with soil and grass if required For the purposes of this guide we are going to use a post hole digger (or clamshell digger as it’s also known). As they’re alternate name suggests, they are a simple clamshell-like tool that you shove down into the hole, close together and then lift, removing any waste earth. Whilst an advantage of aluminium is that it can be left outside without rusting, a downside is that it’s not as strong as steel. I suggest you get a quote for the repair and send to the Landlord with pictures,ideally including one with their washing on the line attached to your fence. Remind him/her of your earlier conversations. Give them a deadline.
