Galvanised steel and aluminium are among the many metal types available as suitable clothesline posts, both being durable and weather resistant – ideal choices to ensure the long-term condition of your washing line. However, when used in wetter areas they should be chosen carefully due to potential salty water conditions or increased humidity that might cause them to rust slightly over time.

Plastic

Plastic washing line posts are much lighter than their metal counterparts, making them an excellent choice for those who require flexible clothesline movement in their outdoor space. Furthermore, unlike their metal counterparts, plastic posts are built to withstand the elements with relative ease if properly installed.

if you need a plastic washing line pole that will withstand windy conditions, look for models equipped with an integrated brace and hook designed to grip the rungs of your laundry line. This will help ensure the lines stay taut without drooping – some modern poles even use hooks equipped with mechanisms that give the lines room to move naturally in the wind without overstraining them.

Modern plastic washing line posts offer another great feature – easily connecting into two parts that easily link together for telescopic functionality, making them portable and install-friendly. Furthermore, their strong steel construction provides confidence against inclement weather.

These types of washing line posts offer you a range of colors to select from, allowing you to find one that perfectly complements the style of your outdoor space. One potential drawback with these models may not come in silver and black as shown on product images; therefore, it would be wise to do some further investigation prior to making a decision on purchase.

Once you’ve chosen the ideal plastic washing line post for your garden, installation should be simple: cement it into place and ensure its stability at its base. Most concrete should set within 10-15 minutes; please follow all package instructions closely as each package can differ slightly. It is wise to wait 24 hours before using your new post in order to allow time for full cure of its concrete material.

Fixed

Fixed washing line poles come in various styles and configurations on the market; most can be set into the ground using concrete mix. Installation of one is relatively easy for most competent persons: dig a hole, use a spirit level to check that its levels are equal, then set up G clamps and timber offcuts as temporary stands while pouring quick-setting concrete into it.

There is a range of pole sizes available, with 2.5 metres long poles being the most popular and featuring pulley eyes, line cleats and ground stays for easy installation in small gardens where changing weather requires you to move the washing line around quickly and effortlessly.

Some ornate or decorative posts can be secured to walls, garden sheds or fence posts using a heavy duty washing line wall fixing bracket for easy mounting. This solution is great for those who don’t wish to have visible washing lines in their yards and/or want to reduce sun bleaching of clothes during dry, warm conditions.
