Cloth drying rope installation

Takes about 15 min

A simple drying line works well only if the hooks at both ends are solid and the rope stays tight. The carpenter fixes a hook or eye at each end into concrete or brick, strings the rope or wire, and pulls it taut so it does not sag in the middle when the clothes are wet. If you want two parallel lines, they are spaced so clothes on one do not touch the other.

It takes about 15 minutes, at the fixed price shown on this page.

Keep the rope or wire and the hooks ready, and decide which two walls or points it should run between.
