Whether it’s a new Hills clothesline or an Air Dry fold down clothesline, always use the new installation kit provided. Different models often have unique installation details, including bolt spacing, frame width, and the number of lines, meaning old fittings may not align correctly or securely.

Can I Reuse My Old Bolts When Installing a New Fold Down Clothesline?
When you install a new folding frame clothesline, whether you’ve chosen a Hills clothesline or an Air Dry folding frame, it’s not recommended to reuse your old bolts or brackets.
While it may seem convenient to mount your new clothesline in the same location, reusing old fixings can compromise stability, reduce weight capacity, and shorten the lifespan of your frame clothesline.
Why You Should Always Use the New Installation Kit
At The Clothesline Store, our experienced clothesline installers always recommend using the new installation kit supplied with your product.
Both Hills and Air Dry clotheslines have unique installation details, including different widths, bolt spacing, and the number of lines compared to older models. Your existing mounting holes or wall anchors may not line up, making your clothesline installation less secure.
Key Differences Between Old and New Clothesline Models
Reusing old bolts can also damage your wall if the previous fixings are stripped, loose, or weakened over time. To achieve the best result, always follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions, use the required brackets, and watch the included videos for step-by-step installation tips.
At The Clothesline Store, we provide video guides that demonstrate the correct process for folding frame clothesline installation and explain the details for both Hills and Air Dry models.
Ground Mount Kits and Other Installation Options
If your previous installation point is damaged or unsuitable, you can choose a ground mount kit for added strength and stability.
At The Clothesline Store, we also have a range of installation videos demonstrating the correct setup process and showing the different folding frame clothesline installation options available.
