String Up a Clothesline and Keep It Tight

Hey everyone. I had to string up new lines on my clothesline, so I thought I would show you guys how I am doing it. It is pretty easy, but if you are new to clotheslines, I hope this helps you out. I use a knot at one end to attach the lines, and the handy dandy clothesline tensioner at the other. In my experience, all lines, yes even the metal ones, stretch after use. My line is very long, so already more prone to sag. Now I can tighten after each use to get a tighter line all the time. Keep in mind, rope line works best with these tensioners, I wouldn't use them if you are planning to use plastic coated metal lines.

We had to relocate our clothesline. If you’re interested in seeing the changes I made here is the updated video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZ64k3aOhtdnidEsi=G2MFsd3iOlWiBrOB

Thank you so much for the detailed knot instruction. I can do this now. Take care

[@AlishaArlene]

I appreciate the video! I did skip through a lot, but the info on the type of clothesline you chose and the clothesline tensioner was very helpful!

[@alyssab646]

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed! Love the Chris Ledoux shirt!

Nice pretty lady. I found this helpful and enjoyed the dimples and even the not necessary talking

My Mom bought these stainless steel clothespins (made in Italy) called "Henry Berry & Dairy Extreme Clothespins" and she loves them. She has arthritis and kept opening the wood and plastic clothespins on a skew and ends-up breaking them, but these stainless steel ones really last. Expensive, but worth it.

Thank you, very helpful!

[@elviragomez5703]

Thank you!!!!

[@fayaitcheson2685]

you for your detailed instruction - it is time for me to update my sagging line. Just wondering if that cotton/poly rope has stretched much since you posted the video.

[@srf2665]

Good video and thanks for showing how to do the knot. Instead of cutting your rope maybe just run it over and through your next eye hook then down to another tightened and then over to the next one.

[@sadiemathison3892]

Yes, I was wondering why she didn't do that. it would save her $20+ in tensioners.

[@sagepremoe1565]

Couldn't I sting the rope through the eye bolts and use only one clothesline tightener at the very end? Do I need to string an individual line from end to end each time (using one line vs 5 shorter one)?

[@TheUpNorthHome]

I do not believe that would work well. It would be hard to pull it tight. If you try it, let us know how it goes.

My clotheslines are monel metal, they might last well over 150 years. I inherited my grandparents property and my grandfather put these clotheslines up in 1946. I have to replace the turnbuckles occasionally, but nothing else.

[@ashutoshvats3779]

Love you Aunty your video is very helpful from 🇮🇳❤️💥👍😇

[@saskylouison4449]

It begins at 11:09. You're welcome

[@jlwonney]

Thank you

[@merrickb9559]

I absolutely love your eyes !!!

[@rgraz4929]

Love this video! Hows the cotton/poly sash cord holding up about a year later? Would you recommend anything different? I just put-up some new clothesline posts for my mother and trying to decide the best cord material with traditional look and feel. How are the tensioners holding-up? I considered turnbuckles but they're a little more costly. Thanks!

[@TheUpNorthHome]

The sash cord is still in perfect condition. The tensioners are all still functioning and doing their job, although I find they whistle or jiggle in the wind.

[@rgraz4929]

@@TheUpNorthHome Awesome. Great to hear! Thanks for the quick reply.

[@Mr.Breeze-1959]

Nicely done. Great tips,thank you!,

[@chrissloan4913]

Awesome. Can I put those metal eye bolts into concrete?

[@claudiacostales933]

What about metal line ?

[@TheUpNorthHome]

You could use the coated metal line. Just wire without a coating would rust and/or leave marks on your clothes.

[@edmundjones2919]

So here I am thinking I will see how to use two knots to do the clothesline. So why not use two tensioners? The search continues.

[@miaa793]

All that babbling and the one part I actually needed to know she skips & evidently does OFF camera 🤦‍♀️😒

[@5d41k3]

Too much talking and not enough doing

[@pierresmuts5189]

Nothing helpful at all. Very annoying!

[@TheUpNorthHome]

Kind of like your comment I guess. Thanks for stopping by.
