Step 1:
Formula to find the
post hole centres
Using the overall width of the
clothesline ordered, subtract
140mm and this will give you
the distance between the post
hole
centres
. Use the tape
measure and mark the location
for the first post hole. From this
mark, using the hole centre
measurement, measure across
the ground and mark the
location for the second post.
Step 2:
At these marked locations, dig 2 holes - 200mm diameter, for the posts. The hole depth
depends on the desired height of the clothesline. Standard posts are 2150 in length.
Standard height above ground is 1800. Leg extension kits are available if extra height is
required or if installation is on sloped land. Otherwise add 50-100mm to the height of the
user as the height of the top posts.
Step 3:
Mix the concrete as per the manufactu
rer’s instruction. Place one post inside the hole.
Make sure that the double holes are facing front/ back. Check the height of the post and
adjust accordingly. Pour the mixed concrete around the posts filling the hole 50%- 75%.
