"Right please explain in the most basic of terms how to put a washing line up. I've googled and watched tutorials but it's not going in. I want to erect a washing line going from the wall on my house to the fence at the bottom of my garden. Do I buy a retractable thing that screws into the wall, do I buy washing line on its own and then get some sort of hook/screw combo, if so what type? Is there some sort of washing line erector service person I can call? " ilm come and erect it if you erect me ![]() | |||

"Oh Christ, distance from the house to the fence, I dunno, I should have measured this before hand. If the distance was a drive I'd say you could fit 3 (fiesta size) cars in a line. The back fence is 10ft wood and it's more like panelly wood than gappy fence. " I'd find a local handyman if I were you. ![]() | |||

You can then loop your washing line down to the hook on the fence post back up the garden and secure to the hook on the wall. Like an upside down V. | |||

" Sounds roughly 40 ft so a decent hook and eye would probably do drilled and screwed into the brick wall with a plastic rawl-plug same arrangement on other end if the fence posts between the panels are stable in the ground you can get the eyebolts and hooks in poundland ( eyebolt in the fence post just screws straight into thw wood ) ![]() | |||

"Buy a laser distance measurer from any hardware store. Stand at your wall and point it at the fence and it will tell you the distance in metres or feet. Buy one masonry nail, one wood nail. A piece of line, you'll be able to get it cut to size but add half a foot for looping. Sorted. " What no hammer....? OP if you follow this advice stock up on washing powder ..... ![]() ![]() | |||

"I wanna peg stuff out and I don't want to get another rotary line cos they get really cobwebby and spidery. " I have this issue too. Wipe the line before you use it. Or don't and have spiders in your clobber. I'm a bugger for it. | |||
