Variety of colours, including Colorbond to choose from
The colour scheme most commonly used matches the clothesline with house gutters and down pipes which makes it look like it belongs. Colorbond colour scheme will come closest.A fixed Clothesline is permanently up. The advantage of a fixed clothesline is that you have a lot more space because the clothesline is 90% welded and can be made larger. 3 metres in length with 12 strands or 36 metres of hanging space.

Retractable and Fold-down Clotheslines are designed to save space by being secured to a wall or frame surface, freeing up surrounding ground space. A balcony or small courtyard is typical even in larger yards where the owner wants the clothesline out of sight. A retractable clothes line is one that works on a Mechanism that locks into place when the Clothesline is raised past a certain point and pins lock into place generally on a downward motion. A common issue with retractable clotheslines is that after a certain amount of use, one or both sides will not click in when required to stay up or lower.

Things to consider
Brick and weatherboard are good mounting surfaces. A Chem-Set is required for Hebal Cladding installations, as they can be complex. Fixing behind the Hebal is a much safer option. Fixing to a fence is an option, but the clothesline will only be as good as the fence. The distance between posts is 2.7 metres on timber fences, where the clothesline will need to fit. Colorbond fence posts are 2.365 metres apart but require a 50/50mm or 65x65mm reinforcing steel post for fixing. Standard Colorbond posts are not suitable.
What sets us apart?
A Handyman can install your new clotheslines, the cost ranges from anywhere between $165 -$250 for a wall mount. More if it is an in-ground post installation. A handyman does need to be proficient with all aspects of wall types. Hollow bricks used on many of the houses in construction, today do present problems. Hanging space on the wall needs careful consideration.
One size does not fit all. The last thing you want is a wall full of holes. because the installer is not familiar with the wall. Weather board walls are framed behind generally with 90×45 timbers and it is to these the clothesline needs to be fixed. A pre-drilled hole suitable for 10mm coach screws will give the best purchase. Bugle screws although easier are not recommended.
A strong well fixed clothesline is essential for the clotheslines to function correctly. Clotheslines that are not correctly fixed will buckle and pull on the wall eventually coming loose, damaging the wall. The nylon clothesline strands will also stretch and break requiring replacement regularly. Unfortunately, the tightening systems incorporated to pull nylon strands tight on modern clotheslines often break or deteriorate and even if they last a nylon strand can only be tightened so many times before breaking and looking unsightly.
Aussie Made Heavy Duty Clotheslines
Nylon/Poly core filament type strands are marketed to last and if this was true then the warranty period would extend beyond the conditional 12-month warranty offered. Nylon strand replacement can be tedious and very frustrating particularly if it is a regular occurrence
Galvanized wire is an option but can cause rust stains to clothing if the galvanizing is inferior and chips and is not suitable for most drop/retractable Clotheslines
Marine Grade Stainless Steel Wire rope will last the lifetime of your Clothesline and never leave unsightly stains on clothing. What’s more, if fitted correctly can be tightened with ease and will not break.
