Step 1: 

Formula to find the post hole 

centres

 

Using the overall width of the clothesline 
ordered, subtract 140mm and this will give 
you the distance between the post hole 

centres

. Use the tape measure and mark the 

location for the first post hole. From this 
mark, using the hole centre measurement, 
measure across the ground and mark the 
location for the second post. 

 

Step 2: 

At these marked locations, dig 2 holes - 200mm diameter, for the posts. The hole depth 
depends on the desired height of the clothesline. Standard posts are 2150 in length. Standard 
height above ground is 1800. Leg extension kits are available if extra height is required or if 
installation is on sloped land. Otherwise add 50-100mm to the height of the user as the height 
of the top posts. 

 
Step 3: 

Mix the concrete as per the manufacturer’s instruction. Place one post inside the hole. Make 

sure that the singular hole is facing front/ back and the dual holes are on the side, offset 
towards the front. Check the height of the post and adjust accordingly. Pour the mixed
