A ground-mounted folding frame clothesline is an excellent choice for homes that don’t have a suitable wall for mounting but still want a neat, foldaway line.
It uses a similar design to wall-mounted units but is supported by two vertical posts that are concreted into the ground. This makes it perfect for open lawns, garden beds, or any space where wall access is limited or non-existent. The big advantage of this setup is flexibility — you can position the clothesline wherever it catches the most sun or best suits your yard layout. It’s also a good option for renters or homeowners who want to keep their house walls uncluttered.
You’ll need a level area for proper alignment and around 1.5 to 2 hours for professional installation, including digging and setting the posts in concrete. Once installed, the clothesline is strong, stable, and can hold a full load of washing. It folds down just like a wall-mounted version, which helps keep your yard looking tidy.
While it does involve more work and materials upfront, the flexibility and durability make it a reliable option for households with open space and no suitable mounting surfaces.
