How do you put an outdoor clothesline?

Question

What do you use for posts, how do you make it stable.

Answer 1

I like a t bar metal posts for the supports. This way I can have 2 rows of laundry. This is good for lots of wash. Make sure they are tall enough to hang out your clothes comfortably. Also you will need a hanging bag for your clothes pins.

Answer 2

There are clothes line poles made.They are T shaped and usually carry 4 lines.Find some and plant them in the ground (in sack creat) about 25' apart to a hight you can comfortably reach.Let concrete dry then string your clothse "line" usualy a wire with a plastic coating .

Answer 3

dig a hole, get a tubular form, mix cement up, use the form to make the base for the clothes hanger. I've got one that like a octagon shape and it's got quite a few lines going around so you can hang a load on laundry no problem.

Answer 4

Answer 5

use pressure treated 4x4's, or a tree if you have 1 in your yard. they sell cotton clothesline kits at lowes, & home depot. or try K-mart, Walmart etc... use a posthole digger, go 18 inches down to set post, if neccessary.

Answer 6

DON'T YOU HAVE ANY TREES IN YOUR YARD. IF NOT THEN YOU HAVE TO PUT UP TWO POLES MAYBE 10 FT LONG DIG TWO HOLES ABOUT 3 FT DEEP AND ABOUT 25 FT APART PUT THEM UP WHERE THE SUN SHINES. PUT THE POLES IN THE HOLES CEMENT THEM IN AND PUT A HOOK ON THE TOP OF EACH POLE ATTACH A CLOTHES LINE AFTER THE CEMENT DRIES AND YOUR IN BUSINESS.

Answer 7

before you decide to put one up you want to be sure you can. MANY places have banned them unless they are pre-existing.
Otherwise any pole, metal being best is usable.Try your local Home Depot for a kit.
