We have listed below some good and bad surfaces for different product-type installations. If you have an unsuitable surface, please feel free to contact us and we can help work out a solution as there is often a work around for bad install surfaces.

Important Notes Before Selecting Installation
Your clothesline will be delivered to you first via courier service. Once your clothesline arrives, you then confirm the installation date with the installer. Installers do not bring clotheslines with them.
For ground-mounted, post-mounted, or rotary clotheslines, the install fee includes our team digging holes and pouring concrete footings.
For wall-mounted clotheslines, the install fee includes our team supplying the correct fittings if they are not included with the product.
If you have a concrete path, driveway or similar, some brands offer base plates for ground-mounted clothesline installation. These can be bolted to the top of smooth, level concrete surfaces only. If you have an existing concrete slab, core hole drilling will be required which attracts additional charges. Please contact us to see if this is available in your area and to order this if required.
Ground Mounted clotheslines are designed to be installed on level ground, if you have a sloping area please contact us to discuss your options and if the clothesline can be installed in your area
We cannot add an installation service after a clothesline has been purchased.
We do not offer installation services on ceiling-mounted lines, or indoor or portable clotheslines.
The Installation location section below shows the areas we can offer an installation service. If your area is not covered by us for installation, a local handyman such as Hire-A-Hubby can provide an installation service and they have nationwide coverage. We have provided a video link that shows a Clothesline Store professional installing a number of lines on our how to information section
