Installing Hills rotary clothesline

[@Wardropulous]

I just did an install of the same clothes line and was curious to see what others had done. Basically, if you follow the instructions that come with it, you can't go wrong. This guy didn't really follow the instructions, so likely won't get as long a life out of this clothes line before it rusts at the base of the pole. 1) Use gravel, bring concrete up to the flange at the top of the plastic holder. 2) The flange should be level or above the level of the surrounding ground. 3) Use proper concrete and mix in a wheelbarrow. Ensures a better quality concrete and allows trowlling the top into a dome so water flows away from the clothes line pole. All of those steps ensure longevity of the clothes line. I've just replaced one of these that was concreted straight into the ground below ground level (not plastic holder) and it rusted and snapped at the base of the pole well before the rest of clothes line was end of life.

What about leaving a space between the ground socket and the lawn so you remove the dryer and mow the lawn over the area!

It stays in place. Not an issue

Would really help, if you mentioned how much water you were adding ..

[@101kashyyyk]

Depends on the brand of rapid set concrete you are using
