Step 9:
Wiring
Parts Required:
•
2 x bundles of cord
•
Scissors or wire cutters (not supplied)
Unravel the bundle of cord.
Take one end of the cord and thread the cord up
through the first hole at the front of the arm. You may
start from either side. Leave 300mm at the start for
tying off on completion.
Bring the cord across to the opposite arm and thread it
down the corresponding hole. Thread it back up the
second hole next to it and bring the cord across to the
opposite arm and down the second hole. See figure 9a.
Repeat this process until all holes have been occupied
leaving 300mm at the end for tying off on completion.
Once all holes have been threaded, bring each end of
the cord around from the bottom of the frame, around
to the outside of the frame. Place the cord under the
previous line of cord and bring back to the outside of
the frame to create an anchor tie off point. See figure
9b.
Starting from the front of the clothesline, place your
hands in the centre of the first cord and pull
downwards to remove slack out of the line.
Repeat this process on every line of cord. When you
have tightened the last cord, release the end anchor tie
off point and re-tighten.
Repeat this process for further tensioning. Once you are
happy with the tension of the cord, complete both
anchor tie off points with 2 x half hitch knots.
