Step 4 – Installing Fixed Posts
4.1
Having selected a suitable location, dig two
holes approximately 200mm diameter
x 600mm deep at hole centres to suit your
product (see Post Hole Centre Chart on
pg. 4). Place approximately 150mm
of coarse gravel into the hole.
4.2
Place Posts into the hole. Push the base
of the Posts into the gravel until the
recommended height is achieved.
We recommend that the Spreader Bar of
your Folding Frame Clothesline is installed
50mm above your typical user head height,
therefore the top of the Posts must be
installed 30mm above user head height
(refer to diagram pg. 4).
4.3
Loosely fasten the Cross Brace to the top
hole in each Post using the M8 x 80mm
socket head bolts.
4.4
Support and check (using a spirit level and
tape measure) that the Posts are parallel
with each other and level, both vertically
and horizontally.
4.5
Concrete Posts into position. Concrete
should be damp enough to hold together
when squeezed in your hand. Pack the
concrete firmly and settle by poking with
a thin stick. Slope the top surface of the
concrete away from the Posts to provide
drainage away from the Post.
4.6
Re-check Posts are parallel and level, then
allow concrete to set thoroughly for at least
24 hours before final product assembly.
