Hi, Fletch. I followed your plan and built the clothesline following your plan. I don't do much of this kind of stuff, but despite my lack of experience the project came off very well. Thank you for filming and posting these instructions. Helpful and much appreciated!
I want to give a HUGE THANK YOU for this video! I bought everything you mentioned for about $140 and did it perfectly. VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!
Most welcome thanks for letting me know.
You have a great design and it very functional. I would suggest spacing lines 9" o.c. with the outside line 1 1/2" from the end of each post. You will double your line capacity with six lines. Since my lines are about 38 ft I use a old-school 1x2 rounded edge center support stick when I hang heavy wash. My sticks have a hole drilled the size of the clothes line about 1" from the end and saw a slot down down to the hole slightly round off at the end, so it easily slips over the line when needed for support. I'm in the city (not in a HOA) and have always loved a solar dryer in the back yard.
Kinda confusing without a picture. What does "o.c." stand for? I like the idea of the support stick , but can't imagine how it looks. I'm an idiot, by the way.
Just figured it out. Thanks. Support sticks are a great idea.
@@interstellarconundrum4774 l apologize but o.c. is a construction term for, on center meaning 9" apart.
Thanks for mentioning Preparation day! You gave me information I didn't get in other videos.
Thanks for the video. Materials list in the description would be helpful. I am using mine to dry wool fiber in laundry bags and to grow green beans up the posts. May add some flower planters and bird feeders, too. 🤔😊
I just finished mine using your plans. It went well. Thank you very much.
Thanks buddy...Made this for my wife over the weekend.
I'm starting mine tomorrow! Thanks for the great tips!
I can't wait to make my own clothesline! Thanks for the video!
Cool. You can do it!
Great job, and great video. Thanks for the tutorial. I built the clothes line posts about a month ago, and did the post hole digging and cement setting today. Turned out fantastic. We moved into our forever home 1 year ago today and the wife finally has her clothes lines. Thank you again for the video and God bless.
Great job on a home project. You have given me the inspiration to build this clothesline. Thank you very much,sir!
I've been looking for a while now for this exact design with the kind of explanation you provided so well that was easy to follow - THANK YOU! So glad I found you and appreciate the time you put into making this. I'm heading to get my materials and start this tomorrow, can't wait to see how it turns out. You're awesome, God bless you and your nice family!
Nice video thanks for posting. I could see the skies were cloudy and possible rain. Looks you won't be hanging clothes the day you made the video. Blessing bro.
Thank you for sharing 😊
Beautiful family
putting a stability line on the back to the ground at both ends will keep lines from stretching as much
Love it!
Been looking for a really good video for my clothes. Line missed the fresh smell of laundry hanging.... This seems to be the best explained and easiest. By the way your soil looks like my soil in western north carolina on the south carolina border
Glad it was helpful!
Followed your instructions and came out great! The only thing I did differently was to add framing binders to all of the joints to really keep them together but all in all a fun, easy to do project. Thanks for posting!!
Thanks!
great video. simpler than other builds I've seen and just as sturdy
Thanks!
If you ever need to replace those lines try visiting the Lehman's website they have a lot of products for off-grid. The clothes line does not stretch and is coated and very reasonably priced. Shalom.
This was a great video. Very informative. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain everything and also, showing everything that you were using. You would be a wonderful teacher! Thumbs up! :-) Beth
Thanks Beth.
Thanks!
Nice solar clothes dryer you have there!
Thank you sir.
Awesome video! I’m currently working on mine. Thanks!
Are rocks are bigger, 1 part dirt 20 part rock n boulder in the Catskills, lol. Good project, prayers to you all
She’s been waiting 6 months. I have been waiting one year and counting. So now I’m looking for a tutorial to do it myself
Great I wish I could share my photos.
thank you for this!! we are buying materials today- this was so very helpful!
You are welcome.
Dude that's my name!
Loved the design. Your wood will eventually deteriorate without having some metal between the wood and concrete though.
It will either way Jes, and I'm pretty sure I covered it in the video, but incase I didn't... the ground is clay, and has little to no drainage. It's gonna deteriorate either way honestly.

I love hearing back from the people I love on RUclips. Thanks for the reply. I enjoy watching your videos ♡
How long will the wood last? Will it rot at the base? I assume when the wood starts to go you have to dig all the cement out and start all over again.
I went alittle overkill on mine. I used treated 4×4s and coated/finished them before putting them in the cement or ground. Better safe than sorry.
I’ve been waiting over a year! Lol. I’m gonna do it myself. Try to anyway. Lol. Great job. 😄👍
OMG rocks are awful here.. the old saying in Missouri you shovel more rock than dirt
Thank you for this video!!
Came here for the comnents
What is that tightening two-sided hook (the one with a close end and an open end hook) called that you mentioned near the end?
would have you done it without burying the post in concrete? I mean using some post support to raise the post from soil. Not sturdy?
Great! Thank you, your camera did make me motion sick though 😂 psychedelic and wavy lol
13:20 - use a comealong.
What was distance of line used from end to end. Thanks
Thanks for the great video, one question for you.
Did you do anything specific to square the faces of the clothesline before cementing?
Great question. Measure the distance from one pole to the on the end... it should be equal.
Can those metal post holders be used instead of digging holes?? I rent, can't do anything permanent.
You gotta do you but I’d just take them out when I moved out and take them to the next place… that’s what we did at our previous house. We sold our fencing, chicken coop, and green house etc…
As far as the metal stakes go I wouldn’t try that myself, but to each their own.
What's a good length for your lines between posts?
Nevermind I see you used 25ft
How do you prevent the metal line from rusting? I worry it will get rusty and transfer to my clothing.
It hasn’t yet....
Works good, but line gets rusty and i aint sanding it every time she wants to hang clothes...switched to cloth line
Thanks for sharing. That hasn't been my experience yet... lol
I used a coated galvanized line. Costs alittle bit more but worth it for less potential headache.
@@larry0323 Will that coated line work with the set up using the tighteners, and Lag screw eye cause I would use the coated also.
Why not use stainless steel line?
Have you had any issues with the wire rusting? I've used the green clothesline wire and white rope on a line before and not impressed. I live in humid area too, so curious how that lasted
Laurie Falk Thus far, still looks perfect.
6 months? Try 9.5 years!!!!!!
Hmmm?
OzarksTactical Homesteading : Waiting for my clothesline lolololol I finally got it for mother's day this year, 9.5 years after I initially asked
Haha, cool! Glad you finally got it! :)
we are in housing they take their sweeeeeeeeeetttttt time about everything they actually had to send notices to us to see who wanted a clothesline it's ridiculous!!!!
That house needs a power wash
Indeed it did at the time.
Came to see the clothes line posts being built, good Job not worried about the house, its for another day
Sweetie, when you swing the camera back and forth like that, it makes some folks sea-sick! I do like the design, but couldn't watch more than 3 minutes - the swooping to and fro did awful things to my poor stomach.
DesignsbyLadyFaire Yup, sorry.
Stopped watching after he said Shalom
