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.

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.

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:

Standard Ground Mount Kit:

2 x Legs
1 x Cross bar
1 x Fastener kit

Plated Ground Mount Kit:

2 x Legs
1 x Cross bar
1 x Fastener kit
2 x Base plates

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.

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.

For ground-mounted clotheslines, they can be installed lower depending on your preference, but if you need it mounted higher, feel free to contact our local clothesline support team for more details and options.
