Mounting Plate Installation
(Figure 1, 2 & 3)
- 7, 11 & 13 line Clothesline and Ground Mount Kit are
240cm wide.
- 10 line Clothesline and Ground Mount Kit are 220cm
wide.
If your available space is less than this, refer to
Reducing the Overall Width.
1. Position Mounting Plates to match the same centre
spacing as your Clothesline and Ground Mount Kit.
2. Mark concrete through the 4 x holes on base plate.
Repeat step for the second Mounting Plate.
3. Using a hammer drill and 10mm masonry drill bit, drill
all 8 x marked hole positions to a minimum depth of
80mm. Clean and prepare holes for installation.
4. Place the Mounting Plates in position and affix with
the concrete bolts provided. Repeat for the second
Mounting Plate.
5. The Ground Mount posts will need to be cut down in
height when they are installed into the Mounting
Plates. The amount they are cut down depends on
the users height, we recommend that the cross bar
be at the user’s 10cm.
Reducing the Overall Width
If your available space doesn’t allow the full
width, you can reduce the width of your
Clothesline and Ground Mount Kit as follows:
1. For the Clothesline, refer to the Clothesline
instruction sheet.
2. For the Ground Mount Kit, refer to the
Ground Mount Kit instruction sheet.
Use the chart below to see how much the posts
should be cut.
Note if the ground is not level you will have to adjust
the post heights accordingly i.e. one post will have
to be longer or shorter than the other, depending on
the slope of the ground
6. Insert the Ground Mount posts into the Mounting
Plates you just installed and secure with the self-
drilling screws through the holes in the Mounting
Plate posts.
