The Mounting Plate Kit is required when:
Choosing a Suitable Location
Check that your chosen location has suitable side
and front clearance. Allow 50cm side clearance and
100cm front clearance.
- 10 line Clothesline and Ground Mount Kit are 220cm
wide.
2. Mark concrete through the 3 x holes on base plate.
Repeat step for the second Mounting Plate.
Note the side with one hole is at the front.
3. Using a hammer drill and 10mm masonry drill bit,
drill all 6 x marked hole positions to a minimum
depth of 80mm. Clean and prepare holes for
installation.
4. Place the Mounting Plates in position and af x with
the concrete bolts provided. Repeat for the second
Mounting Plate.
1. Position Mounting Plates to match the same centre
spacing as your Clothesline and Ground Mount Kit.
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.
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.
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
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.
Use the chart below to see how much the posts
should be cut.
