Clotheslines

Why can't I book in an exact time for my installation or repair?
Due to the nature of our work, it is difficult to designate a precise time for your installation or repair. We will, however, call you the evening prior to inform you of the approximate time our installer will arrive. If we are more than an hour either side we'll give you a call to let you know. If given enough notice we can organise the booking for AM or PM.

I want to have a clothesline installed, do you remove my old one?
Yes, we can remove, take away and dispose of your existing Clothesline.

In which areas do you offer installation and repairs?
We install within the Perth Metro area - see our Service Areas Map. If you are not far outside the Service Area and require installation, you can Contact Us for a quote.

What do I need to know in order to determine which wall-mounted Folding Frame clothesline is the best for my space?
If you'd like a wall mounted clothesline, first measure the length available along the wall and the depth available out from the wall. Keep in mind that Folding Frame Clotheslines can go across gutters and windows, but must be a minimum of 300mm from a gas hot water system depending upon the model. Also, allow extra space to stand whilst lifting and lowering the frame.
N.B. For tight spaces we can tailor the length of the clothesline frame to fit the wall


Is it possible to install a clothesline onto my fence?
Most councils prohibit attaching any structure to a Colorbond boundary fence. If you want to use the area against a Colorbond fence, the best option is to ground-mount posts beside the fence and have the clothesline attach to the posts. It may be possible to install your clothesline onto a single brick parapet or adjoining boundary wall if it's high enough, but it is advisable to get your neighbour's written permission beforehand. 

What height should a clothesline be installed at?
We generally install clotheslines at the height of 1.8 metres up from the top surface of the pavers or lawn below. It is recommended you be available to meet the installer on site if you would like the clothesline installed lower or higher than this to confirm your preferred height.

I have a very narrow area where I would like to fit a clothesline, but I'm not sure what would fit.
With such a large variety of sizes and styles available, there is bound to be a clothesline to fit your area. If not, most folding frames can be tailored to suit.

If you are unsure of whether you can fit a clothesline in a narrow area, Contact Us to discuss a customised solution for your space.


I have a cement path down the side of my home and not enough wall space to wall mount a fold down clothesline. Is there an alternative?
Depending upon the space available, there are several options of either retracting or folding frame clotheslines that can be fitted down narrow areas.

If wall mounting is not possible and there is no soil, grass or lift-able paver for ground mounting in the chosen area, it may be possible for posts to be attached to an existing concrete ground surface with the addition of plated steel feet bolted to the ground or by core drilling into the concrete.

Still not sure of which clothesline is for you? Let us help you choose your  clothesline with our Clothesline Selection Wizard or Contact Us for more information.

 

Letterboxes

What does the installation of a Stone Letterbox involve?
The installation of a stone letterbox includes the installation and levelling of a concrete slab, the use of a hydraulic crane to lift the letterbox onto the slab and glued down, and the sealing of the letterbox for protection against the weather.

How hard is it to install a Stone Letterbox myself?
Sandstone letterboxes can weigh anything up to 150kg, so they are often very difficult to transport home, let alone install. We use a crane and hoist to load, unload, and position these letterboxes to protect our backs!

How long from ordering does it take to have a Stone Letterbox ready?
It generally takes at least 7 days to make up a sandstone letterbox. If we have the specific model in stock at the time of order, installation should be possible earlier.

How long from ordering does it take to have a Multibank Letterbox ready?
If we don’t have the configuration you want in stock, it takes 4 -6 weeks to make a multibank letterbox depending upon the complexity of the design.

 

Letterbox Plates and House Signs 

What are your Standard Letterbox Plate sizes?
We have a range of standard sizes which you can see here.

What quality Stainless Steel are your plates made out of?
Our plates are made from Marine Grade 316 stainless steel so they're made to last and suitable anywhere including coastal properties.

How do you do the lettering on the plates?
The most popular method is laser etching, but we also use laser cutting or vinyl. CLICK HERE for more information about the options.

Can you make Customised Plates?
Yes. You can either give us a call, use the Request a Quote Form, or send through a drawing to our email enquiries@aussieclotheslines.com.au and tell us the size and specifications of what you are after.

How long does it take to make a Letterbox Plate or House Sign?
If you choose a standard size plate, it will likely be done within 1 to 2 weeks. A customised size or design will likely take 3 weeks.
