Troubleshooting
Washing line post is wobbly or unstable.
Ensure the ground socket is installed securely. If not set in concrete, consider digging a larger hole and filling it with concrete around the socket for maximum stability. Check that the post is fully seated within the socket.
Washing line is sagging excessively.
Ensure the line is tensioned correctly. If the sagging is due to the weight of laundry, consider distributing heavier items more evenly. For persistent sagging, a new, tighter line may be required, or consider adding an intermediate support if feasible.
Post shows signs of rust.
The post is made of galvanised steel with a powder-coated finish designed to resist rust. Minor surface rust can typically be cleaned with a mild abrasive and the area touched up with appropriate metal paint. If significant rust occurs, inspect for structural integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Choose a suitable location in your garden, patio, or yard that receives good sunlight and airflow.
Dig a hole and insert the provided ground socket. For maximum stability, especially in soft soil or high-wind areas, it is recommended to set the socket in concrete. Ensure the socket is level.
Once the concrete is set (if used), slide the washing line post into the ground socket.
Attach the 30m PVC washing line to the top of the post and secure it at a desired lower point or tension it across a different anchor point if available.
Compatibility:
Compatible with most standard garden environments (soil, turf, concrete bases).
The PVC washing line can be used with standard clothespins.
Care:
Wipe the steel post with a damp cloth periodically to remove dirt and debris.
Inspect the washing line for wear and tear and replace as needed. The PVC coating offers good durability.
Ensure the ground socket remains free of excessive soil or debris that could impede the post insertion.
