About this deal

The most obvious solution would be to build your fence or erect a post where you want to fix something. Other options to this issue are: The first issue is that for a full sized power auger you need 2 strong and fully able people to operate it. When rotating, the shaft and thread generate quite a bit of toque and it takes a fair amount of strength just to hold on to the tool and it’s even worse if you have a heavy clay soil.

You must have a very low fence! My washing line pole is only a few inches higher than the concrete post just behind (and I've often wondered why they didn't just use that; presumably the fence came later). Ok - washing lines, you need to use a heavy duty hook if fixing to a wall, you need to realise washing can be quite heavy when wet which causes the line to sag. They are both cheap to hire, cheap to buy and readily available from most DIY stores, online or from your local builders merchant. There are however a few other options that also need mentioning: Manual Fence Post Auger Some designs are stronger than others, and it all comes down to the quality of their construction. They tend to be made of aluminium because it is light and helps the retractable mechanism work well without weighing down the line. However, aluminium isn’t as strong as steel, and often these lines can struggle to hold lots of heavier items like wet towels.They seemed to get the hint and invested in a clothes line but rather than buy a rotary line they just bought a cord and tied one end to the fence post that belonged to their house, pulled it diagonally across their garden and then tied the other end to the final post of our adjoining fence. They then pegged all their clothes onto it including their wet towels which obviously were very weighty. Position the wall unit and hooks at a shorter distance from each other, instead of at the maximum length of the line. As a result, drying heavier washing such as towels and jeans can cause the washing line to hang low to the ground, and it’s therefore better suited to drying smaller loads of washing. Neighbours sound like bonkers twats, but I don't understand why you've allowed all this to happen and not said anything..? Were you just intending to wait until the fence fell down? Fill the hole with water to one/third of its depth (see visual instructions below or instructions on the reverse of the bag for more details)

Ensure your string line is straight and inline with where you want your posts to go and that the front face of each stake it flush with the line. Occasionally, certain styles of retractable washing line can come up against specific problems. Below are the most common problems that come up for spool lines and wall mounted ‘rotary’ lines, as well as how to combat them. Troubleshooting Spool Retractable Washing Lines Depending on how loose the soil is, it may compact down a fair amount so make sure to measure the depth again.Wall mounted washing lines are unlikely to have as much drying space as rotary lines, and are therefore better suited to smaller families. One of the primary benefits of retractable washing lines is that when they store inside a casing, like this DRYZEM Retractable Washing Line, the line itself is kept clean and dry. Determine the desired height of your retractable washing line, too. You want it so that you can reach it easily, but it is high enough that large items such as sheets are clear of the ground. Ideally, make sure the washing is not in the way of paths as this means the washing will get in your way and also the path could be slippery from wet washing dripping on it.
