Making your own Clothes Line
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 май 2021
- A simple DIY project. Today they are associated with modern concepts like solar energy and wind power, but clothes lines have been around for a very long time. A good clothes line close to the house makes laundry day a less demanding chore. And who doesn't want that fresh smell?
Buy the way the aluminum bead I used on the wire ending is called a ferrule. I purchased these at Home Depot. I also used a stainless steel hook and eye turnbuckle, stainless steel screw in eyes, and 14 gauge green plastic coated wire that my wife purchased on Amazon.

Who knew I needed a video on clotheslines? But here I am and I am getting my tools ready for a new clothesline! Thank you for such a great tutorial 😊
Thank you for the video. I had to play it 2x the speed but as anything else you have to wait to recieve good things. It was worth the watch. For me what really placed the icing on the cake was the links in the description
Thank you so much for this. I just made one for indoors wall to wall using exactly the same parts. It’s brilliant. I’d never heard of a turnbuckle before! 😀
Absolutely excellent video on how to make a clothesline. You explained it so clearly and precisely and made the process such a no-fail system.
Thank you for the very informative video. I unplugged my dryer just recently and have started using my umbrella outdoor clotheslines. Great way to save money and to get some fresh air.
I made a clothes line using this video. I put in 3 4x4 posts with 10 feet between and 4 lines on each section. I was happy to see the two by four on top and the use of plastic coated wire and fasteners. Would recommend leaving the excess wire as I had to tighten up each section after they were installed. I also switched to a regular pair of pliers when I accidentally cut a section with my needle nose combo pliers. Great use of ferrules without the stops. I also made a clothespin bag using a couple of carabiners and a canvas tote bag. All great ideas and a charming video. Loved the explanations and even the background neighbors. Life!
Good job. Not only clothes, but also duvets, pillows enjoy UV!
I also like washing my clothes inside out. Started doing it when I had a polo like shirt with a collar that had a fold in the wrong place and it would keep folding there after each wash. Googled and someone suggested washing it inside out and low and below that took care of it. So started washing all my shirts that way, then after a while all my other clothes too. Seems like this might help them last and look better longer since the outside isn't rubbing against all the other clothes that are different color and material.
This was a wonderful, practical plan! I especially liked the laundry tips and explainations at the end as well as the quick set cement method you used. Clean, fast and simple! The way you secured the lines was both aesthetically pleasing and useful; I can imagine the fasteners will remainin durable for a good while and keep the lines from drooping. I'm definitely going to give this tutorial a shot! Thank you for creating and choosing to share :)
I'm glad you liked it, I hope it works for you!
Thank you very much for all the effort on making this video. I watched it with a blank paper and a pen and wrote down every measure. I am gonna make an exact one here in madrid. Thank you again!!!
You are the Bob Ross of clothesline installation........
Awesome tutorial! Thank you! I love your design reasoning for the distance and number of lines; exponentially functional (efficient and effective). Bravo!
Thank you! This is the coolest line! Great tip also about hanging them inside out- I was not taught that ;-)
I was tryingbto remember what a turnbuckle is so I'm glad I watched your video.
Thank you for your video, it was very informative. 🙂
This video is wonderful. Thank you so much for the tutorial. It is very specific and easy to understand. I will be following this. Great job!!
Good idea. Saves so much elec.. I do it but it's just me. I only fluff in my old dryer.
thank you so much for the video! super informative and really helped us out!
Don’t know why you don’t have more subscribers thanks man
Great! Love this. Thank you for doing this video ❤
Beautifully done!
I watched your video and like the idea of having the post closer, then watch another video of a clothes line being put up and I liked the idea of not having to walk fifty feet or more to hang clothes. If I ever put one up I'll remember your idea.
I did mine using a galvanized steel .. great video
Beautiful! Thank you! God bless you!
I was handed the turnbuckles and those clamps but had no idea how to make them work. (sounds silly, I know, but...wth). So Thank you, Thank you!! Makes sense now!
What are those clamps called that you thread the wire through? I have to order online & I can't find the name for them. Ty
Please send what all those doo gadgets are. Ha. I'll check again later dear. Thanks. Yes I'm 67 need a new clothesline 😂
good idea
I learnt something today.
Thanks, great video!! :-)
Great job. Also I see you are saving money on razors and shaving cream lol
The metal posts themselves looked sturdy, from my perspective, so I am perplexed as to why you cut down a metal post that stood up against a fallen tree?
if you live in a urban area tell your wife or partner dont leave those clothes up all day long be considerate of your neighbors, old woman next to me hangs clothes at least 4xs a week and leaves them up from morning until dusk. It being summer and grilling season and grass mowing pretty limited if I want to grill or mow the lawn.
How does that stop you from grilling and mowing grass? Do you share the same yard?
@@apAvocado small city lots close to one another unlike country with acres apart.
Oh. I guess she doesn't check her laundry after two hours. She must like really crispy laundry. That's not good for her clothes.@@fredmcmurray6308
Why not tell them you need to mow and ask if they want to take their clothes down or same for grilling? If they give you a problem just don't ask next time 😆
Great video! Thanks. What type of screws or lag bolts did you use to fasten the 2x4 to the 4x4 post in the top center? I like this basic design better because it's not top heavy. You see some videos of clotheslines using a 4x4 across the top which I think is overkill. Thx. Oh... never mind! You did mention you used 5 screws in the center. Thanks anyway.
Exactly… trying to make list of things needy… I typed in “ClampyThings”. Got no hits
How did you get the holes to aline
What tool did you use to cut the metal post off?
An angle grinder with a cutting disc is what it looks like he had laying next to it around 2:25.
Jake is correct!
Aaaaaaa Haaaa!! Thank you!

No information in the description on the large crimp beads or whatever they are called.
Oh hey sorry about that thanks for reminding me. It is an aluminum ferrule! That is the proper name.
@@sagehollow3349 Did you ever crimp them and if so with what? I just used a bench vice for mine. Used a loop on both ends but made a bit too loose so I'm probably going to make another loop which will shorten the line then add a turn buckle. I have my line set up around the poles of a covered porch and take it down when I don't have clothes hanging out. Use it mostly for towels.
Yes the ferrules should be crimped. Probably will work ok for a clothesline, but crimping the ferrule will add so much more security to hold the tension or a taut line.
Most people remove the wood clothesline poles and install steel.
And even the steel posts like the ones I replaced were so rusted they were falling apart. So steel rusts and woods rots, no perfect solution.
@@sagehollow3349 Quit wearing clothes? ha ha ha
Yeah I was thinking that too, but actually like the look of the wood ones better. Did you buy them or make them?
Here in Arizona we stay away from anything metal lol
I purchased a product called postsaver! It protects the wood from rotting !
I’ll know it’s there😉
For all you Family Guy fans out there..........this is Chris. Myeup. 🤣 This guy sounds so much like a certain old man!
I'm curious, who do I sound like?
@@sagehollow3349 You do not sound like him, and you don't want to know. It isn't a compliment. Thank you for your video!
I wonder if PVC pipe would make a good clothes line
Thats a good question! I wonder?
I’d think they have too much give if you put wet heavy clothing day in & out. Unless you cement the interior. I’ve used a clothesline all my life & they need to be extra sturdy (at least mine do).
I would say no. Perhaps if you kept it very short, under 4ft in length or limited yourself to only hanging very thin/light clothing.
Great content! Thanks for sharing! 💕 Relax with NATURE with us here at CoffeeCat TV and let us know what you think 😻🐦
When you connected your line, You did not know the name of the piece you use to hold lines. So you called them “clammy thing” I would think; if you are doing a how to video, you would know the names of the “things” that you use. You said you would be able to find what they are in the description. Where do I find the description?
It's called a ferrule. Next to the title it should have an arrow or say show more to choose and it will show the links to the items used. Give the guy a break he's not pro with millions of views he's just a regular guy. It's not that hard to just ask someone for help when you are getting the wire at the hardware store. Or just Google wire clamps.
22 second long intro is waaaaay too long if you want people to watch.
Good video otherwise. Thankyou 😊
Yeah I hate intro's for instructional stuff unless they are talking about what they are about to do.
Gah....way too much bla, bla, bla. Why can't people just make a simple, to the point video of how to do things?
Next!
Dude. You need a woman
Great 👍
Many thanks for this informative video **** you have made this so much easier than I expected it to be **** thanks for taking the time in such detail and explaining it so thoroughly and easily ****many thanks ❤️🧺👚👕👖🧦🥼🧥🧺❤️
