I put up a clothesline in the backyard.
The posts are landscaping timbers from Home Depot (on sale this weekend for $1.49 each.)
I used a circular saw to half-lap the pieces where they join. I bolted them together with carriage bolts.
Each end has hooks (the other end has closed eye hooks). I can adjust the tension later with the hooks you see.
Each post is set in a 12" deep hole, set in with cement.
The total cost was $30.00 The hardware was the most expensive, those costs add up.
This all went up in a morning, the cement was setting overnight, and the clothesline was strung the next day.
Drying clothes on this instead of in the house should help keep the house cooler in the summer.
Love the clothesline. Know Faith will really get some good use from it. I can smell the line dried sheets right now..............love the smell of line dried clothes.
