Clothesline Installation Service

Clothesline Installation Service

Lifestyle Clotheslines is now offering a clothesline installation service for all outdoor clothesline products purchased through our website.

We have a dedicated team of installers throughout Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Canberra, plus many other major cities in Australia, who take the hassle out of installing your new clothes line. A flat rate is charged for a standard installation*, with other services such as old clothes line removal and core hole drilling also available for a additional fee's.

Clotheslines can be installed into and onto most surfaces commonly found today, including grass or soil ground areas, concrete slabs, pavers, tiles, concrete walls, and brick walls.

For installation onto weatherboard, hebel or a fence (timber, colorbond, etc), it is technically possible, but this type of installation is not recommended by Lifestyle Clotheslines and our installers will generally not install to this type of surface. In most situations, we do offer another alternative to this type of installation, such as installing the clothesline to a ground mount kit directly in front of the weatherboard or fence.

If you are not sure about an installation please feel free to give us a call on 1300 798 779 and discuss your needs with one of our expert clothes line customer support staff.

(*) Standard meaning no rock or concrete obstructions
If rock is struck when digging or the clothesline needs to be installed into rock, an extra charge of $80.00 will be charged for jackhammering.

Taking away of the old line is $60.00 to cut off and remove. This means that your old clothesline will be cut off at the very ground level and dismantled and disposed of from your premises. Please note the old concrete in the ground will not be dug out and removed.

A core drilling service is also available for those installations that require it. This service is best used when installing clotheslines into paving, concrete pads or decks and solid rock formations. The cost for this service is $100.00 per hole, however this may vary depending on your area.

As a point of guidance, our installers Core Hole Drill at a diameter of 125mm to 250mm.

Please Note: Our installation service is for the installation of clotheslines. This does not include clothesline covers.

To order clothesline installation through one of our installers or any of these additional services please feel free to give us a call on 1300 798 779.

Warranty Period for clothesline installation service is 12 months.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the Retractaway 40 has a minimum extension of just 2m. This means you can pull the lines out from the cabinet any distance from 2m up to 8m(10m for the extended version) and the lines can be locked.

Yes, you can add 1 or 2 Post Kits to your order if you don’t have a wall available.

A Plated Post Kit allows you to bolt the post down onto an existing concrete area rather than core drilling or jack hammering holes into the concrete. The post has a metal plate welded on the bottom with holes for dyna-bolting down onto the concrete.

To compare all of the Retractaway 40's features against Hills, Brabantia, and Daytek clotheslines that are similar, kindly visit our Austral Retractaway 40 clothesline comparison chart.

A general rule of thumb is to install the clothesline so that the lines are approx. 50mm above the users head height. An average height is approx. 1800mm but you can adjust this to suit your requirements.
