Mounting & Installation
Installation Information
Guidelines for mounting your Foldaway washing line.
Mounting Height & Wall Preparation
The Washline Co. recommends mounting the washing line at approximately 1.85 metres high. The wall should ideally be flat.
Wall Clearance: Customers require approximately 10 cm of additional wall space. For example, a 2.3 m Foldaway requires approximately 2.4 m of wall space.
Obstructions, Spacer Blocks & Vibracrete Walls
Avoid placing the brackets where pipes, cables or other fixtures interfere.
Spacer Blocks: Spacer blocks may be needed where obstacles prevent the back bar from sitting correctly. Spacer blocks can also be used when installing onto suitable vibracrete walls where the upright pillars obstruct the back bar. Spacer blocks are supplied on request.
