- Today we installed our new Skyline pulley clothesline kit. Clotheslines are a staple of country living so we definitely couldn't wait to get ours set up. The installation was easy and this system should last us a very long time. If you want your own Skyline Clothesline please check the link below :)

That's an awesome clothesline! You make it look so easy to install!! My husband was a little Amish boy until age 7... then his parents left the Amish church. He still has lots of Amish relatives...great people! They are in the Ohio Amish community..Holmes County.
Wow! Love it! Nothing smells as good as clothes dried on a line. Doug makes it look so easy to install. XX
We grew up without a dryer, clothes lines rock!😎
Us too. My mom had a wringer washer and two rinse tubs and ran a hose out the door to drain them and the washer.
We have pulley clothesline that attached to our house and go to one of our trees in our backyard! Boy that’s a real heavy duty system you got! That’s great! Dave wants me to check out the skyline system! He was impressed! That was a great video! 👍👍👍👍 Thanks Doug and Ashley!
I have a laundry basket that belong to my mother in law that is cloth and folds up. I made a new cloth bag for it out of Denim. It has a place for my clothes pins. It’s nice to repurpose things that belong to other family members! 👍
Good job! This video could be a great instructional piece for Skyline. They should sponsor the video! LOL
This is the same type of system we used on my grandparents ranch in the 1950's. Worked well and holds a lot of clothes. Your instructions were so clear. Thank you.
Excellent! Now you can save on elec and get that nice fresh "dried outdoors" scent on your laundry!
Ok I had to smile & giggle. You brought a memory of long ago.. Long comment. You see I love a clothes line. At our first farm 37 years ago. My hubby used our trees to hang my clothes line. I didn't like it because of the birds. With that said he said if you want a clothes line that is where it stays. He also connected it to our house. I had just hung out 3 loads of laundry & a bad thunderstorm struck. I could not get my clothes down. We was standing in the enclosed back porch. Lighting struck that. ONE tree. It ran own & around that coated clothes line. Caught the wooden clothes line pins on fire & blew them off one at a time. The clothes fell in order. I just stood there laughing. He said I don't know what the hell you think is so funny. Now you have no clothes line.. I said yes that is right. But the 2 huge trees you used are split down the middle & are both on fire.. The corner of the house is smoking too.. Moral of the story at our new farm house several years back. HE has hung my new clothes lines on metal iron posts.. Thanks Doug & Ashley.. You two bring such happiness to me.
From South West INDIANA..💖🇺🇸😁😄
Julie Wallace Great story, that would be something to see!
haha, nice story! I probably would have laughed too :D :D
I love your story! XX
That's one way to speed up the drying process !!!
Great tutorial and I LOVE IT!!! Cloth or plastic lines end up sagging HORRIBLY especially when drying heavy comforters, rugs, blankets, etc. You guys will have that line till well after the children are grown! Great work! Save money on laundry expenses as well as utilities for the long haul! Great job! God Bless ~Lisa
We live in Arizona. If you have just a small backyard and don't have a clothesline and are paying electrical or gas costs to dry your clothes, you should consider this, or a smaller version. Heck, just put a hook from one point to another and run some paracord and you're done. There's nothing better than the smell of clothes that have been sun dried, especially bed sheets.
The first time I even saw an Skyline pulley clothesline was back then when you lived in your old house and showed it in one of your vlogs. It's definitely a nice invention
Your clothesline reminds me of the one we had. Love the smell of sheets on outdoor line. I have saved all these years my mother's last clothespins.
Love how you shot and edited this video! Looking good guys 😊
Thanks!
Very educational Doug. As always you make it look easy.
Your subscriber numbers are growing lately. Glad to see other people enjoying your videos also. Thanks for the videos guys.
By far the most well built and complete long lasting clothes line kit I've ever seen. Well worth the money, don't waste your time trying to track down the parts at local stores you'll just waste your time and get frustrated ending up with junk foreign made pulleys and cheap cotton line that sags no matter what. Very easy to install especially after watching these videos
I found your channel because of internet searching for pulley clotheslines. I love my Skyline ... my husband and son-in-law followed your installation instructions. 😊 The biggest bonus is all your videos! Always look forward to the next one! Love and blessings from PA!
The crazy old neighbor lady has asked me to put up a clothesline for her like this and I've been messing with different pulleys and trying all kinds of different things for a month to try to get it right. I'm about to order her one of these and be done with it! Thanks for sharing.
I remember my granny had one like that when i was a kid ....She could hang the clothes right from the back pouch where the washer and ringer were ... us kids used to help ... sure do miss those times ........and my dear granny ... nice job Doug .
Thank you for sharing that. I hope we can make some memories too.
Wow that's the best clothesline I have ever seen.
Again I have learned something Doug, good job
Hey good morning Doug and Ashley are you guys doing today hey I'm still proud of you guys they should be able to put your stuff on the on the clothesline at least I guess have a good day and Jesus loves you guys keep up the faith bro hey I'm keeping I will pray for you everyday sometimes you got to sacrifice are you guys have a good day God bless
I have been hanging laundry outside for most of my life and really enjoy it year 'round. For the few days in Winter that are not good for drying outside, I use one of those folding wood racks inside. I checked the Skyline website and plan to purchase one soon. For the installation instructions they used YOUR VIDEO from last year! Doug does a great job showing how to install this system.
It's funny because we didn't even know our video was on there website until this year when we went online to look at them. We were so honored by that we wanted to make a better one and this was our chance. We think it turned out great. It's a win win because we get to support an American business and create good content for our channel. (We hope they use this one)
Yes, last year's demonstration was very good, but this new one is excellent! It shows more closeups and goes into more details. Thank you! I believe it will help Skyline sell more clothesline kits. I like that they are an American small business.
Looks great!
You never cease to amaze me!!!
My gram always had this type of clothesline. I've never seen anyone else with one like it but when we buy our house I want one !
The end was the corner of her porch, and it went over her yard
Thank you so much for showing the system. Will def buy my own. Take care.
What no post standing today !!!
I was curious as to what used for the clothes line itself. Rope would never ever work. Nice job !!!
Ashley you did a great job on the camera!
Simply marvelous video. Beautifully and so well done. My mother hung clothes on the almost all her life. But nothing as fancy as this.
Thank you :)
That is a big money saver! People don’t realize how much it cost to run a clothes dryer. When we had our 2 sons at home 30 yrs ago, we shut the dryer off for one billing period. We were shocked to find out our dryer cost $30 a month to dry our clothes. I’d hate to think what it would be now. Great investment in that practical clothesline. Phil
Yup, it saves a bunch of money not using the dryer, plus I've always found it to be relaxing to hang laundry outside, so that's an added bonus. :)
This looks like the BEST clothes line system ever!! We live in Australia, but I will DEFINITELY be installing one of these for us. Thanku for your informative video.
Well done Doug & Ashley....excellent instructive video. :)
Something else to possibly consider... a cap (galv' sheet-metal?) on the top of the post could prevent water from soaking in there and possibly causing the timber to split, and I'd remove the sharp upright corners on the post.
A post cap is a great idea. You can pick up 6x6 post caps at a lot of the big hardware stores so it's an easy addition. We'll try to do that soon.
One with a solar light might be good.
Put what you'd like on your wish list. (wink wink!) :)
I chuckled to read your comment in that I stared and stared at the 4x4 that holds the one pulley on our system and thought how bare it was. I put a solar cap on it! Great minds! 😊
Nice neat job my friend - thanks for sharing!!
We learn so much from you thanks.
Your pulleys are impressive. My pulleys are very small. Have to invest in the skyline set up.
Your video about the Skyline pulley clothesline kit could not have come at a better time! We plan to replace our clothesline within the next month. Your suggestions will come in handy, thank you.
Nice idea! Cheers from Australia 🙂👍👍👍
Nice job doug you have another task done Ashley will be happy best wishes
Yup! Just in time for spring, too. :) Thanks
Thank you.. i want to stand on my patio while hanging out wash. line drying not only to save money but for the clean smell of aired sheets...
thanks for your tip and for sharing this video
Thats a very nice clothesline 😁👍
Great video. You should send it to skyline. Brand deals and occasional sponsorship are the key to success on RUclips these days!
I did send them the link. We made a similar video when we were at our old property and they loved it. They ended up using it on their website and we were really honored by that. We wanted to make a better one this time and I think we accomplished that. I hope they use this one too.
This is a terrific video ! I’m going to get a skyline for my house here in France ! Looks like good quality that will last a lifetime. What more can one ask for ? Thank you. I’ll be subscribing to your vids.
Well done Doug, What don't you do? Laundry? Hahaha 👍 💛
Haha, Ashley handles the laundry ;)
Really nice set up. hate to ask price of that. lol the extra hole for the bolt was great idea ty..
Good job.. well done👍👍👍
wow what a great video ! thanks ...
Nice clothes line Doug, looks like that will last forever. Y'all have a Blessed Day!
We hope it will. We are always looking for long lasting and low maintenance solutions for our property.
So I’ve binge watching for weeks now. And originally you went by a different name. So I’ve noticed when Ashley says the new name “out in the country” she’s kinda Giggling....?? Like it’s kinda funny for her to say the new name. Is that what I’m seeing you do???😄 it’s cute. I love this “show”.
Cool clothesline
great tutorial
Nice to see it bace from the other place
I like very much yours vídeos
Great Job!
Thank you
Grea5 job Doug
Hi Ashley and Doug how you guys doing today I'm not feeling too good I'm underneath the weather I guess I don't know what's going on but I guess I can only do so much today I just push push myself but sometimes I can't get the stuff that I can get done sometimes I get upset sometimes but but sometimes you got to rest you know I just too much stress I guess you guys have a good day and God bless you and you guys did a good job on that pole or whatever that I'm proud of you guys God bless you guys
Just an FYI on ladder use.
You had your ladder facing the wrong way. You were climbing up the backside of it. The sliding fly should be in front of you.
Ice job, thanks!
Awesome!!
Fantastic :)
Thank you for showing us how easy this is. Can you tell me where to find J bolts long enough to use with 6 x 6 posts?
Great video..
I have a similar set up. How the he k do you stop the clothes (on bottom wire) flipping over and getting stuck wrapped around the top wire rope? I've tried spacers, weighting bottom of clothes with clips etc. This happens more often with pillow cases, towels, large sheets etc. The wind here on west Australia tends to change direction a lot over the day.
That tensioner is the same as what is used for high tensile electric fence wire.
Well done
Great! Did you compare different setups?
Thanks.
Thank you!!!
lovely vid
This is awesome! My line sags so bad
I’m looking for a way to hang multiple birdfeeders from my deck high up over to a tree I’m wondering if I can alter this for that
Thank you :)
Thank you!
good job
Gotta have one! Happy house warming to me...better get that house built quick :). Do you have the small or large, poly or aluminum?? Enjoying being a new sub. Shamelessly, I'll put a plug in for SE MO for your new homestead. After all, you seemed to enjoy the Ozarks on your recent trip. I've traveled there to my future homestead 3/yr since buying the property almost 2 yrs ago. Can't wait for groundbreaking and a move within next 9 months!
We got the 8" pulleys and they are poly. They work great for us. That's exciting about your new homestead. I hope your move goes smoothly!
Always wondered how that works
There is also a round solar clothes line I kid you not it it slowly spins as the sun hits the solar panel
And if you have not seen off grid with Doug and Stacy check them out I think you would like there Chanel you both remind me of them
Yep, we've heard of Doug and Stacy and have watched loads of their videos. Never knew about the solar powered spinning clothesline, interesting :)
Great video again! Thank you! Next video is a small chair so Ashley can reach the line or will you be doing the laundry Doug? 😂 Keep up the Good videos 👍🏻💪🏻
It's a little lower than our previous clothesline and Ashley managed that one fine. I do plan on building a small platform(think pallet) and laundry staging area to stand on when hanging laundry to keep the ground from getting muddy so we had that in mind too. That will be a future project :)
Out in the Country smart man!!!
How's it holding up 5 years later? Wondering if I should get the poly or cast wheel.
I’d vote cast because poly degrades in the sun and cast won’t or won’t nearly as quickly. You can pick up inexpensive pulleys that are more than sufficient for $10, too
👍 👍
I am trying to get those type of cloths line spacers. Do you know where I can buy them??
Great work!
Link is in the description for where to buy them
I want to use this to hang bird feeders on -- can I install the line at an angle? (one side 4 feet higher than the other?) I want to hoist the feeders higher in the air, than pull them down to replenish. BTW - great instructions, thank you.
Yeah, it's common to do that, have one end higher :)
How much have you spent Including the Pole
💜💜💜💜💜
Will Ashley be able to hang the clothes? Ashley's got news for you! She cant reach it. 😂 I subbed.❤
Thanks for subscribing! I can reach it fine, I love it :)
Buen día!
No saben el agrado que me da, ver sus vídeos!
Veo todo lo maravilloso que hacen.
Todas las tareas de reparaciones para el hogar.
Aquí, en Uruguay, le decimos, cuerda para la ropa o tenderete, a lo que usted hizo hoy en su video.
Pero... el nuestro o el de la mayoría de la gente, es muy simple, con sólo una cuerda de alambre o cuerda de plástico resistente. Va muy simple, de un poste a otro poste, con sólo una cuerda, y con un caño de hierro al medio, para poder levantar la cuerda.
A mi, me gusta más el tenderete de ropa que ustedes tienen. Me parece muy útil y no hay que caminar de un extremo al otro, para colgar la ropa. Con ese tenderete, es más fácil colgar la ropa.
Una pregunta?
En que estación del año están ustedes en su ciudad?
Aquí en Uruguay, es otoño. Les envió muchos Saludos desde la ciudad de Canelones. Muchas bendiciones para ustedes y su hogar.
👍👐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👏👏👏👏👏🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
Good day! They do not know how pleased I am to see their videos! I see everything wonderful they do. All homework repairs. Here, in Uruguay, we say, rope for clothes or stalls, to what you did today in your video. But ... ours or most people's, it's very simple, with only a wire rope or sturdy plastic rope. It is very simple, from one pole to another pole, with only one rope, and with an iron pipe in the middle, to be able to lift the rope. I like the clothes stall you have more. I find it very useful and do not have to walk from one end to the other, to hang clothes. With that stall, it's easier to hang clothes. A question? What season of the year are you in your city? Here in Uruguay, it's autumn. He sent many greetings from the city of Canelones. Many blessings for you and your home.
Yea, this clothesline is great, you just stand in one spot to hang all the laundry. And it will last a very long time. :) The season we are in now is spring. It has been a chilly spring so far, we hope it really starts warming up soon. Thank you
Out in the Country 👍👍👍👍👍👋👏👏👏👏👏👏🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌹🌺🌸🌻🌼🌷😉
Beats the dryer all the way to the bank!
I'm interested in using this, not as a clothes line, but to transport things like picnic baskets, coolers, forgotten utensils/blankets/computers, etc so that we don't have to keep walking back and forth uphill 150ft just to get something. Will this work for us? How would we get send stuff back and forth without walking and pulling the object?
Same thing.. want to purchase or make one to transfer stuff to our gazebo on the backyard. Want it motorized too 😁
Wicket, I hope there is no tree hugers out there lol couldn't see very good, I hope your wife can reach the line, I no you will help her for sure. Love it :)
Do you use special, tight clothing pins? Do you think the wind may push the cloths downhill?
We use regular wooden clothespins. Any regular clothespin will work. The clothes stay put even in wind if they are pinned well. Also the main pulley has a built in lock to stop the line from moving. Just turn the handle on the pulley to lock it in place and it will stop the wind from moving the line.
Have you experienced any issues with tree sap or droppings from the tree on your clothes?
Nope :)
Why the difference in elevation in the pulleys instead of being level?
We just didn't want the clothes too close to the ground. It's supposed to make taking them off the line easier since they kind of roll back to you.
Is the tree not still growing? Won't that increase the distance between your pulleys over time?
It would be so minor I don't think it would matter, but that tree is pretty old. The tension could always be adjusted also, if needed.
Why aren't the fittings galvanized instead of zinc plated? And why didn't you mount it to the telegraph pole?
Zinc plating is galvanization, it's the same thing. We don't own the pole and you are not allowed to attach anything to them unless it's related to the electric, phone, etc.
@@diyfferent In Australia we hook everything on a telegraph pole if it is in our yard. I worked in the fastener industry for years, zinc plating is galvanizing but only just above raw steel. "Heavy" galvanizing is a dull finish, and better suited if you are in a heavy snow, salt, or rain environment.
What size was your J bolt and lag bolt? Just looking for size diameter-wise.
3/8"
@@diyfferent thank you!!!
@@diyfferent Ok- where did you find the J bolt? HD and Lowes don't seem to have it (at least online).
@@paulag4955 I think we may have found it at Menards. If you can't find one, you can also just use a screw hook. Also, try this: www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-3-8-in-x-8-1-4-in-Steel-Clothesline-Hook-807146/204273837
@@diyfferent thanks- you did find it at Menards, and so did I. I really wanted the proper j to utilize your no twist installation. Genius that.
You live out in the country next to a busy interstate? Holy cow that's a lot of traffic noise!
Yea, it was annoying. At one point that property would have been so peaceful and quiet, but they built that loud highway in the 1970s and ruined it.
@@diyfferent No one gets in the way of "progress"!
🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
Where can I get that line tensioner to buy?
It's actually a fence tensioner and can usually be found online or at farm stores. You may have to drill out the hole to accept larger diameter cables like this.
Hello, is your 6x6 post 10 feet long or 16 footers?
10 feet. We set ours 3.5 feet in the ground, so 6.5 feet is above ground.
@@diyfferent Thank you very much for taking the time to reply! Setting up our clothesline tomorrow hopefully.
