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.
