CLOTHESLINE INSTALLATION TOOWOOMBA

Having a new clothesline installed in your Toowoomba home is not as easy as it sounds.


What sort of clothesline suits you and your family best? A rotary/Hills Hoist style clothesline, a folding rotary clothesline, a retractable clothesline or a fold-down clothesline? 


What brand of clothesline is best and will last the test of time? What is the best aspect of your house to install your new clothesline? Is it best to have it installed facing North, East, South or West? Get this wrong, and your clothesline won't dry properly or will get damaged from too much sun.


What height is best to install your clothesline? Too high, and it's a chore to use. Too low and your doonas and sheets drag on the ground (and your new Kelpie pup will love to gnaw on the corners of your brand new silk pillowcases 🤨).


It can be challenging to find a reliable Toowoomba handyman who does this kind of work, and it's hard to know if the job will get done correctly. Will they install your new clothesline to the manufacturer's specifications? Will they understand what clothesline best suits your needs? Will they think about the type of fixings they use to secure your new clothesline, and will they rust out over time?

Folding Rotary Clothesline Installer

Retractable clothesline installer

Retractable clotheslines are great because they're not taking up much space when they're not being used. They can be retracted into a compact unit that is easy to stow away when the clothesline isn't used.


If you have limited space at your Toowoomba property, these might be the type of clothesline for you.


Due to its small size, a retractable clothesline is perfect for southern and western facing aspects in Toowoomba, where space is limited. The clothesline can be retracted after you've brought the washing in, so it's not in the way of walkways or entertaining areas.


A clothesline that can be stowed away means more living space when you're done, and kids/pets won't be able to play on it either.


Retractable clotheslines are easy to install and maintain, but they sometimes can't handle all types of linen and weights depending on make and model. It may need some extra support if you're hanging wet sheets or heavy towels on the clothesline (depending on the span between clothesline and fixing point).


For local retractable clothesline installers in Toowoomba, contact Toowoomba Handyman Company today.

Hills Hoist clothesline installer

The traditional Hills Hoist is a very popular type of clothesline in Toowoomba that has been around for decades.


Traditional Hills Hoist clotheslines are made of steel and come with a rotary mechanism that allows you to easily pull your clothes up and down. They're easy to use but can rust over time if not cared for properly. 


Hills Hoist clotheslines are perfect for northern and eastern facing aspects where you'll get good sun exposure all day long.


These clotheslines also come in a range of different diameters and finishes to accommodate most families needs. If your family is big on hanging out wet sheets or heavy towels, though, opt for the larger sizes and have your new Hills Hoist installed with an adequate concrete footing.

Washing Line Installer

Fold-down clothesline installer

A folding clothesline is perfect when you don't have much space in your yard or courtyard but still want all the benefits an external clothesline provides.


A clothesline that folds away means you're not bumping your head on it or blocking access with your clotheslines in entertaining areas when friends and family visit.


This clothesline is perfect for smaller properties in Toowoomba, where space isn't so abundant and can be installed simply and easily with a clothesline arm that folds up.


Several brands supply folding clotheslines, so speak to us today to discuss the various options.

GOT A QUESTION ABOUT CLOTHESLINE INSTALLATION SERVICES?

Frequently asked questions 


Questions we often get asked about clotheslines...

  • What is the best height for a clothesline?

    There is no perfect clothesline height that suits everyone. The clothesline should be as high as you can comfortably reach without strain, as this will make it easier to hang clothes on and take them down again. You don't want your clothesline to be at an unworkable height at which it's a chore to use. A general rule of thumb is to set the clothesline 100 - 150mm above the primary users' heads. The clothesline should not be placed too high, as doing so would make closing difficult since most fold-down clotheslines must be propelled up to close down.

  • What are the benefits of a clothesline?

    There are so many benefits of installing clotheslines in Toowoomba homes.


    Clothes dry much quicker on clotheslines versus clothes dryers, saving you plenty of time and money on your electricity bills over the year.


    It can also prolong the lifespan of your clothes because it reduces wear and tear caused by tumble drying machines. 


    A clothesline is also the perfect spot for clothes to air after you've washed them. It allows clothes to smell fresh and feel soft, instead of smelling like hot clothes straight out of the machine.


    And let's not forget about the environmental benefits! Clotheslines use far less energy than clothes dryers, so it reduces your carbon footprint too!

  • How much does a clothesline installation cost?

    The price of clothesline installation varies depending on the type of clothesline you want and the substrate we are fixing to.


    Clothesline installation in Toowoomba starts from around $120, which excludes the clothesline itself but includes all labour and installation materials. 


    For a quote specific to your Toowoomba property and clothesline preference, contact us today to discuss. Our clothesline installation quotes are free and without obligation.

  • Why is a clothesline is better than a dryer?

    A clothesline is better than a clothes dryer for more than just your clothes. It helps the environment and your clothes too! The clothesline uses the sun instead of electricity to dry clothes, helping you save on energy bills as well as prolonging the life of your clothes by reducing wear and tear from tumbling in a machine.

  • How do I keep my clothesline from sagging?

    Clotheslines are almost always hung at least 1600 - 2300mm above ground level. This is to keep clothes well away from damp grass or the puddle underneath your lawn sprinkler. A clothesline that sags can also cause clothes to wear out more quickly, especially when they rub against the line itself.


    Sagging clotheslines are easily fixed by raising them to a higher level or by re-tensioning the cord.

  • How often should clotheslines be replaced?

    Clothesline lifespans vary depending on the type of clothesline and build quality. Some traditional Hills Hoist style clotheslines are still going strong decades later. Some retractable clotheslines seem to only last three years before they give up the ghost. However, irrespective of the type of clothesline, what's more important for longevity is the build quality. Generally speaking, you get what you pay for with clotheslines, so buy the best one you can afford if longevity is important.

  • Where should clotheslines be placed?

    The best clothesline placement is on an east-west axis to take advantage of both the morning and afternoon sun. Avoid clotheslines on north-south axes as they will only receive half the sunlight for hours at a time, which can lead to clothes drying slowly or even mildewing. 


    It is also worth considering clothesline placement concerning prevailing weather patterns. If it's windy where you live, clotheslines on east-west axes will be less likely to have clothes blown off them, while north-south clotheslines are more likely to have clothes being blown onto neighbours' properties. 


    It is also worth bearing in mind that clotheslines can reduce a property's value. If a clothesline is in a prominent area of your yard, you may want to consider removing it or placing it somewhere less noticeable.

  • Should you get your clothesline serviced?

    Many clotheslines are relatively long-lasting as they've been designed and manufactured for outdoor use, but a little bit of maintenance once in a while never goes astray. 


    Even clotheslines that are rarely used need to be serviced from time to time. 


    Some common issues include the build-up of rust, sagging/stretching clothesline cord, squeaky/noisy rotary handles and hinge mechanisms, the list goes on. 


    Servicing a clothesline will ensure it is as good as new and help prolong its lifespan.

  • How long does it take to install a clothesline?

    It depends on the clothesline style you choose. A fold-down or fold-down type of clothesline is usually installed in an hour or two. Rotary (Hills Hoist) and folding rotary clotheslines take a bit longer as we need to dig a hole and concrete a footing (which then requires a 2nd visit to install the clothesline after the concrete is set). We'll always provide a fixed upfront price for your approval before we start any work. Regardless of how long the clothesline installation takes, the pricing doesn't change, so you stay in control of all costs.

  • What payment methods do you accept?

    We can accept cash, cheque, online bank transfer (EFT), Visa and Mastercard.
