What Is The DifferenceBetween A Wall Mount And Ground Mount folding frame Clothesline?

The main difference between a Wall Mount and Ground Mount Folding Frame Clothesline is the installation method.

While the clothesline itself is the same, the Ground Mount kit allows for a freestanding setup, giving you the flexibility to place your clothesline away from walls. The Wall Mount version, on the other hand, is fixed to a wall for support.

Can a Folding Frame Clothesline be mounted on a wall or installed free-standing in the ground?

Yes, a folding frame clothesline is versatile and can be mounted on a wall or installed free-standing using a ground mount kit.

However, some smaller models are wall-mount only and don’t support ground installation.

What is the difference between a standard ground mount kit and a plated one?

The key difference between a standard Ground Mount Kit and a Plated Ground Mount Kit lies in the installation method:

Standard Ground Mount Kit: Designed to be installed directly into the ground and concreted in place, providing a permanent, secure foundation for your clothesline.

Plated Ground Mount Kit: Uses plates that are bolted to a concrete surface, allowing the ground mount kit to slide into these plates, which makes it easier to relocate or remove if needed.

What's included:

2 x Legs
1 x Cross bar
1 x Fastener kit

Plated Ground Mount Kit:

2 x Legs
1 x Cross bar

Can I install my fold down clothesline on a fence?

It's generally not recommended to install a folding frame Clotheslines on fences (timber or colorbond), as the weight of wet washing can cause the fence to lean or become unstable over time.

A better alternative is to use a ground mount kit, allowing the clothesline to stand freely next to the fence.

That said, there may be exceptions. It's always a good idea to assess the fence's structure and suitability before installing your new clothesline.

How high should I install my Clothesline?

The ideal installation height for a clothesline is typically 50 to 100mm above the head of the person who will be using it most.

For a wall-mounted clothesline, the average installation height is around 1800mm.
